Still others advocate smoking cessation methods involving a supportive group of other smokers who have quit or who are trying to, such as Nicotine Anonymous. Some people seem more comfortable quitting on their own, with no outside help. When you wake up, promise yourself that you won't smoke a cigarette that day. Plan ahead and think of how you'll deal with stressful situations without lighting up. Take a breather.
Relaxation exercises help relieve urges to smoke.
Remember, urges to smoke are temporary. Exercise, like swimming, running, and racket sports, helps relieve tension and your urge to smoke. After dinner, instead of a cigarette, treat yourself to a mint or a cup of orange tea with honey. For dessert, grab a tangerine or suck a cinnamon stick. Crack nuts for yourself, this will certainly keep your hands busy.
