Once you have made it inconvenient to smoke, your new skills developed from the previous suggestions will make quitting a lot easier because you have put in practice behavioral and cognitive skills to reinforce your goal. You have most likely reduced the serum level of nicotine in your body so withdrawal will not be as difficult. If you are even thinking about quitting smoking, please call the Student Use Education Program for supportive education. Any physiological addiction is seldom changed by pulling yourself up by your own boot straps. Success is dependent upon learning to trust yourself while your body is physiologically and chemically changing back to a nicotine-free state.
Most people feel the discomfort of physical withdrawal.
Give your body the time to adjust and you will soon discover you can turn knowledge to action. You will soon breathe more easily and your sense of taste and smell will improve. You will save money and be free of an addiction. For information on eligibility for services at the UNM Student Health Center, please see General Information .
