How To Distract Yourself From Your Smoking Habit

Smoking is frustrating because it’s really easy to start smoking in the first place but then it can seem just about impossible to stop doing it. With smoking the problem is that you are addicted to the habit both physically and mentally. For this reason you should use an electronic cigarette from Neon Cigs instead of the standard tobacco cigarettes. You will eliminate the intake of tar and by using e cig liquid with your cartomizers it will cost a lot less as well.

The first thing you should do is actually figure out what triggers you have that make you want to smoke. After identifying these triggers, write them all down in a journal. This will make it so that they are easier to really pinpoint. After doing this you should then figure out ways to avoid all of your triggers. Triggers will vary from person to person but you should notice a trend of what things happen that make you want to smoke so these triggers should be fairly easy for you to identify.

Many people smoke in social settings. Chances are that you have some friends who smoke and some friends who don’t smoke. If this is true, try to stop going out to places with people who always smoke around you. This may be difficult if you enjoy their company, but let them know that when you decline their invitations to go out that it is nothing personal and you’re only doing it to help quit your smoking habit. They will likely understand and may even decide to quit with you.

A trigger for many people is having a meal. After eating, they will go outside and have a smoke almost as a type of dessert. Instead of doing this you should replace the smoking with a healthier habit. One thing you can do is exercise immediately after you eat a meal instead of lighting up a cigarette. There are actually multiple benefits for doing this. For one, you won’t be doing your unhealthy habit you are trying to fix. You also will be able to actually make yourself even healthier since exercising will be really rewarding for your body.

Many people pull out a cigarette because they feel like they just can’t go very long without putting something in their mouth or hold something in their hands. Figure out other items that can take a cigarette’s spot for these situations. Biting on a pen may be a bad habit, but it’s also a completely harmless bad habit. Perhaps the feel of the pen in your mouth will be similar enough to that of a cigarette and you won’t feel that craving for a cigarette because you will have something in your mouth.

You probably won’t be able to completely quit smoking immediately, but if you can power through some of your urges it will be easier for you to gradually quit. Use the advice you learned from this article and soon you will kick the habit.
