Quit Tips
Drink lots of water. Make sure your fridge is always stacked and that you take water with you when you're on-the-go. |
|
Have gum or mints handy for when cravings kick in. |
|
Get your teeth cleaned and/or whitened. |
|
Avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee and soda, and avoid alcoholic drinks. |
|
Enjoy healthy snacks like carrots and celery, fruits, and sugar-free snacks. |
|
Keep your hands and mouth occupied with cinnamon sticks, toothpicks or straws. |
|
Wash or dry-clean your clothes and have your car cleaned inside and out to get rid of the smell of cigarettes. |
|
Have the carpet, draperies, bed sheets and other fabrics inside your home cleaned and deodorized to remove the lingering smell of cigarette smoke. |
|
For some time, try to stay away from places where there will be smoking: like bars, nightclubs and the outdoor areas of restaurants that allow smoking. |
|
Become physically active, whether it's at a gym, with friends or on your own. Something as simple and easy as walking will help. |
