1. How To Stop Smoking Without Driving Yourself Crazy
Smoking is bad for your health and often a pain in the neck. Your life will likely be interrupted by
having to exit the building to smoke, and you can feel a bit off if you do not have your smoking
products with you at all times. If you are truly committed to quitting your tobacco habit, read on.
This article contains plenty of techniques to help you stop smoking.
Once you've decided to kick the smoking habit, tell your family and friends. They can help support
you in your choice. With this support, you can optimize your chance to quit successfully.
If you find it difficult to stop smoking by
yourself, speak with a medical professional.
There are medications available to help you stop
smoking or to make the process easier. Your
doctor will also put you in touch with support
groups and other resources you can use.
Get the support of your loved ones, so you can
quit smoking more easily. It's key that you
leverage their support, but tell them not to
judge you. Also, warn them that you may be
bad-tempered in the beginning and that your
judgment may be somewhat cloudy. Quitting
smoking can be very difficult, so it's critical that
you have the support of those who are close to
you at this time.
If you cannot stop smoking cold turkey, use nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches, sprays,
inhalers, or gum. These nicotine replacements will help you quit by supplying your body with a small
amount of the drug to help curb withdrawal.
Try nicotine replacement products that are offered. Nicotine withdrawal can lead you feeling
restless, irritable, frustrated or depressed. The cravings can be overwhelming. You can help alleviate
these feelings by using nicotine-replacement therapy. Incorporating nicotine gums and patches into
a regimen can double the chances for success. It's important to avoid using these if you are still
smoking.
Avoiding the triggers that cause you to crave a cigarette is key in quitting totally. Change your
behavior, so you aren't tempted, for example, go to new restaurants that do not allow smoking. Try
to use other things to distract your thoughts, if you are thinking about smoking.

2. If you are considering quitting, have a frank discussion with a doctor. Your doctor may be able to
refer you to a support group or have knowledge of specialists in your area. Also, if your doctor feels
that your situation calls for it, he or she may think it is best for you to take a prescription medication
for quitting.
A major factor in terms of quitting will be your positive thinking and your motivation to quit. Think
positively about how your life is going to be so much better once you stop smoking. Think about how
much better your breath will be, how clean your teeth will be, or how much better your house will
smell. There are plenty of reasons to stop smoking - what are yours?
The first step in any plan to stop smoking, is stopping. The best way to begin your quest is by
stopping altogether. Just try to stop completely and never pick up another cigarette. This strategy
may not be the easiest method of quitting. It is really the best way, over the long term.
If you have been smoking inside your house, give it a complete scrub-down, once you have quit.
Shampoo your upholstery and carpets, launder your curtains and drapes and wash your walls.
Instead of smelling smoke when you come home, you'll smell clean, fresh fragrances. This will
reduce the temptation to smoke.
When planning your quit, do not forget to factor in rewards for the important milestones you will
reach. Write down a list of rewards you will allow yourself when you have stopped smoking for a
day, a week and a month. Keep this list somewhere where you'll notice it each day. Looking forward
to your rewards can help you stay motivated during the moments you feel like caving.
