It is not simple to quit smoking. Why? because Tobacco companies have made it that way by including Nicotine in Tobacco. Nicotine is very addictive and causes one to depend on frequent Nicotine intake. Many of you are aware of the typical facts and warnings of smoking so I’m not really here to bore you and preach to you. instead I want to extend a friendly hand and do what I can to take you from a regular smoker back to an independent individual no longer trapped by Nicotine.
To this day quitting cold turkey is the simplest and most effective way to kick cigarette smoking to the curb. I want you to not carry cigarettes with you no matter what. if at this time you are a smoker who goes through half a pack a day, at lets say $5.you will be saving yourself over $900 a year. a pack a day smoker will keeping an extra $1800 in their pocket by kicking this dependency. take the money you save and buy something you really want. After the whole year you could take a nice vacation if you choose.
Quit smoking one day at a time. this is your main focus you should be concerned with. Do not smoke from the time you wake until the time you sleep. Pride yourself in not smoking. Get into the mindset that you are doing yourself a favor each time you turn away from a cigarette. you are resisting temporary urges for a long and healthy life. if you have kids, show them anything is possible by accomplishing what you might feel is the impossible. by showing them what you are capable of, you are also showing them they too are capable of anything.
Make a list of reasons to quit smoking. As I mentioned above, put your family and kids on that list. keep this list with you, in the same place you used to carry your cigarettes. you will take out the list instead of a cigarette.
You should drink a good amount of fruit juice the first few days to help flush nicotine out of your system.
Weight can can be a concern so make sure to get in some regular exercise. Also eat veggies and fruits if possible instead of feel better foods (candy and desserts).
I hope these tips will serve you as well as they did me. Remember you are in this for the long haul, overcome this and you too will feel like you are on top of the world
