Tips and tricks to quit smoking are nothing to be scoffed at. These little reminders and pointers have saved millions of people from premature death. Let’s take a look at some that you can start to use today.

Quit Date

Set a quit date if you think it will help you. One thing’s for sure – you can’t just decide to quit on impulse, this very rarely works. At the very least you should mentally prepare for quitting and tell yourself that there is no going back.

List of Reasons

Create a list of reasons to quit. You can find examples all over the web, including on my own website. Create a huge list of reasons to quit. They will far outweigh any list of reasons that you could possibly find for remaining a smoker.

When you make any other decision in life and you logically choose the course of action, you always weigh up the facts. Don’t let smoking be any different.

Throw Out Paraphernalia

Throw out anything in your house that is related to smoking. this means lighters, ashtrays, even cigars. You’re going to be a non-smoker so these things won’t be a part of your life anymore.

Exercise

When you quit, take the opportunity to start an exercise program. Most smokers don’t do much exercise. Now your body will start to love exercise and you’ll also accelerate your health being restored to normal. The gunk will leave your body quicker if you exercise!

Exercise also seems to have a very therapeutic effect on the mind. It will lower your stress and help you relax better.

Cut Down On Caffeine & Alcohol

Try to cut down how much coffee you drink or how much you booze. Both of these make you susceptible to starting smoking again. And booze is a major trigger for smoking. You don’t need to cut them out of your life but you will feel the benefits of cutting down a little on them.

Triggers

Watch out for triggers that might cause you to start smoking again. Especially stressful situations. If you are stressed, whatever you do – don’t go back and start smoking again!
