WAYS TO GET PAST NICOTINE CRAVINGS

CRAVINGS USUALLY LAST ABOUT 10 MINUTES, EVERYTIME YOU GET THROUGH ONE, YOU ARE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO QUITTING FOR GOOD.






STEER CLEAR OF TRIGGERS



IF YOU  USUALLY SMOKE WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE , TRY DOODLING OR COLORING INSTEAD 

2.SET A TIMER

INSTEAD OF GIVING IN , WAIT 10 MINUTES WHILE YOU FIND SOMETHING TO DISTRACT YOURSELF.

3. CHEW SOMETHING

BUSY YOUR MOUTH BY CHEWING SUGARLESS GUM OR MUNCHING ON RAW CARROTS.

4 RUN UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS



AS IF YOU NEEDED ANOTHER REASON TO EXERCISE ; EVEN A SHORT BURST CAN CURB A CRAVING.

5. CALL OR SURF FOR SUPPORT

TEXT A FRIEND OR CALL A QUITLINE. READ BLOGS BY QUITTERS AND POST MOTIVATING COMMENTS.


6. DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO DE STRESS


TRY YOGA, DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES, MASSAGE OR MUSIC. YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED HOW WELL THEY WORK.

7. REVIEW YOUR REASONS


REMIND YOURSELF WHY YOU WANT TO QUIT. WHY YOU WANT TO DO IT FOR YOUR FUTURE

THANK YOU
