Quit Smoking, The Easy Way

For a long time you’ve planned to quit smoking because of its dangers and its sheer uselessness. But smoking isn’t just like any other habit. It affects your nerves, your heart, your entire body.
You have tried again and again to quit smoking, only to find yourself facing failure. What you need is techniques that will help you quit the habit.

1. Three times deep breath :
Inhale the deepest lung-full of air you can, and then, very slowly, exhale.

2. Drink lots of fluids:
Drink lots of water and fluids to help flush out the nicotine and other poisons from your body.

3. Avoid sugar,coffee & alcohol
Do your very best to stay away from sugar ,coffee and alcohol as these tend to stimulate the desire for a cigarette.

4. Oral substitute:
You can use cinnamon sticks or chewing gum as a substitute. Soon you will find that you wouldn’t even need these.

5. Regular exercise:
Change your normal routine – take time to walk or even jog around the block or in the local park. Go to a gym, sit in the steam or exercise.

6.Pamper yourself :
Go ahead and join a yoga class or maybe reiki – they're great! Get a one hour massage, take a long bath - pamper yourself. Get yourself involved in a hobby.

7. Ask for help:
Ask for support from co-workers, friends and family members
Ask friends and family members not to smoke in your presence.

8. Destroy cigarettes:
Hide all ashtrays and destroy all your cigarettes.

9. Write down:
Write down good things about being a nonsmoker - and then write out bad things about smoking. It really helps.

10. Affirm yourself :
Several times a day, quietly repeat to yourself the affirmation, "I am a nonsmoker."

11. Holding out :
It's important to understand that from time to time, you will still be suddenly overwhelmed with a desire for "just one cigarette." This will happen unexpectedly, during moments of stress, whether negative stress or positive (at a party, or on vacation). If you are unprepared to resist, succumbing to that "one cigarette" will lead you directly back to smoking.

In conclusion
Remember that if you quit you will live longer and feel better. Quitting will lower your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or cancer. The people you live with, especially children, will be healthier. If you are pregnant, you will improve your chances of having a healthy baby. And you will have extra money to spend on things other than cigarettes.
