1.Nicotine replacement therapy
This is one of the first things people start with. A nicotine gum or patch helps reduce the urge to smoke. However, there is still some supply of nicotine in the body, but it does not have harmful chemicals like tobacco.
2. Avoid triggers
Everyone has their trigger points that give rise to the urge to smoke. If you want to quit smoking, it’s best to avoid these triggers. For example, going to parties or talking on the phone for a long time or stress often triggers the urge to smoke. Try to resist it and maybe avoid these avoidable things.
3. Fruits and Vegetables to the rescue
Start incorporating more vegetables and fruits into your diet. Also keep chewing gum or fruit to resist that urge.
4.Physical Activities
Enjoy physical activities. Establish a routine and instill some physical activity time into the routine. It can be as simple as going for a walk, run, or a proper exercise or gym regimen. Physical activities are not only important for everyone, but they are also a distraction.
5. Emotional support
Having the support of family and friends actually helps a lot. If you are trying to quit smoking, share with your loved ones and make them a part of your journey. Love and support will always take you far. One can try to find support groups or even seek professional help to overcome resistance.
