- Pick a low-stress time to quit. Don't try to quit during a holiday or when you're under a lot
of pressure.
- If necessary, talk with your doctor about using a nicotine replacement aid such as a patch, nicotine
gum or a prescription.
- Identify triggers for smoking - having a cup of coffee, talking on the phone, a night on the town with
friends - and avoid them.
- Stay as busy as you can, especially doing things that make it hard to smoke while doing them.
- Get plenty of sleep to minimize irritability.
- Exercise every day to release stress. If you exercise vigorously, endorphins can actually combat
your craving.
