Could take longer but that really depends on you
Extra tips that can be useful in any of this option above are:
- Keeping yourself busy, some time is more about smoking for boredom if you think about it
- Make a plan for the future: if you ever feel that you would like to restart smoking apply this plan as a kind of self prevention, this could include planning different activities to not think about smoking or literally not having even the time for that
- A little help from your diet: food like fruits, vegetables and cheese usually make taste the cigarettes terrible so especially at the beginning you can try to increase more these products.
Instead, cigarettes taste better with fizzy and alcoholic drinks and avoiding all these products during critical times like the beginning can help reduce your smoking temptations.
- Think about the money! any motivation with your improvement could be helpful, just think about how packets you didn't buy this last month and how much you saved
Or just think about how many packets/ money are you going to save this month/year if you resist
- Think about your health: this should be actually the main reason, the list of all the disease risk increased by smoking are only increasing day by day I will not even list it here
- Vent it out/ Show it off: that's right, talk about your great change with anyone, having compliments and support from people will definitely help you to keep this positive change unless you are talking to a tobacco producer boss which is improbable.
Hope this is helpful enough to start your healthy lifestyle changes but if you need extra support don't hesitate to use the form you can find on the left of this post.
