Smoking is a terrible habit, but I’m sure you already know that. That’s probably why you’re here, after all. It’s good that you’ve realised just how bad this is and want to quit – many people don’t, as they believe the damage is already done. This couldn’t be further from the truth; after just a couple of days of shunning the fags, you’ll notice improved breathing and sense of smell/taste. After that, your body will slowly heal itself until it’s almost like you never started…almost. Not only is smoking bad for us, it makes us stink, gives us yellow teeth, and makes us look years older than we really are – who want’s that? To help you find ways to fight cravings and give up this dirty habit for good, here’s 7 savvy ways you can quit RIGHT NOW:
1. Use Patches
Patches are one route people go when trying to quit smoking. They work for some more than others, as some people feel they need to be doing something with their mouth or hands in order to get distracted. That being said, they are a valuable quitting tool you should try at least once.
2. Chew Gum
Chewing nicotine gum is an old favourite, and has helped many people to quit in the past. The only downside is that you don’t have anything to do with your hands, so you may have to find something to play with or hold to distract you when a craving hits. We’re creatures of habit by nature, and sometimes you probably don’t even crave a fag, you just want one because you typically would have sparked one up in that situation.
3. Try an E-cig
E-cigs have plenty of benefits, in fact; they’re one of the best things out on the market today helping people to quit. It’s almost like smoking a real cigarette, except nowhere near as bad for you. You have something to do with your mouth and hands, so you can’t complain there, and your body will feel as if you’re smoking a cigarette, helping to relieve your craving. We recommend that you still try and cut down with the e-cig so that eventually you aren’t smoking anything – but until then, get to 10 motives and pack in the fags!
4. Take Up a Healthier Lifestyle
By taking up a healthier lifestyle filled with healthy decisions, you won’t want to ruin those decisions by picking up a cigarette. You could start exercising if you didn’t already, and begin eating healthy, wholesome foods in order to nourish the body. You’ll feel 1 million times better, and you won’t want to ruin that with a cigarette.
5. Think of The Money You’re Saving
Add up the money you’re saving from not smoking. Seriously – it’ll shock you! You won’t believe the amount you’ve wasted over the years.
6. Research Smoking Related Illnesses
This is a bit of a scare tactic, but it should work. Research smoking related illnesses and look at what smoking does to the body. Everybody thinks that it won’t happen to them, but the truth is: it could be you.
7. Ride Out the Craving
Don’t ever think to yourself ‘just one more’. It’ll never be just one more. Fags are evil little disease ridden sticks that you need to remove from your life permanently. If you believe you can do this, then you will do it. Always think positively, and remember; you’re worth more than smoking!
