Tips to quit smoking are at best guides and not a clear-cut solution to the problem. You don’t simply do what these tips suggest and expect a miracle to take place. You are guided by these tips just to assist you. And, the biggest part of the solution (and the most important) seems to belong to you or should be present in you when you begin the process. Without it, the desired change is doomed not to happen. Let us start with this very important item.
Believe: Strategy that Really Matters
They say that once you get yourself into drugs, there is no way you can be completely free of its influence. In other words, you will have the battle with the temptation for the rest of your life. That seems to imply that you cannot achieve the total control over such a vice.
Smoking cigarette is reportedly a different case. There are reports of successful stopping. There are even reports of effortless quitting – the kind that is quit today, quit forever. If that happens to you, then you are very lucky. But if it does not, then you have to BELIEVE.
There is nothing more influencing than believing in yourself. That is greater than soliciting the support of your friends and relatives or substituting other activities in lieu of smoking. Chewing something sweet or puffing on counterfeit cigarettes may bring temporary relief but either of this method is only evasive but not curative. The habit has to be faced squarely. Believing in yourself can stand alone because it encompasses every other tip that was ever suggested. In fact, other tips are useless without belief.
Other Quit-Smoking Tips
These tips are also important. Choose the ones that will work with you well.
a)Write the reasons why you are quitting. Remind yourself of these reasons by reading this list.
b)Enlist the support of people who care for you.
c)Exercise, exercise and exercise. Get that needed volume of oxygen to circulate freely within your system. Exercise exhaustively.
d)Free your teeth from obnoxious cigarette chemicals. If these chemicals stick longer near your taste and your nose, the temptation is greater.
e)Flush out nicotine by drinking lots of water.
f)Get away from those familiar places and faces.
g)Get all those vices off you altogether. There is no reason for you to continue drinking alcohol or do drugs if you really are decided to stop smoking.
Finally, should you feel tempted to break your resolve to quit smoking, think about “Believe.”
