Smoke Free Me - Resisting the Urge to Smoke

Resisting the Urge to Smoke

 

There are several methods you can use when quitting smoking. You will get the urge to have a cigarette which will last about 5 minutes.

 

 

Each of these methods work to reduce the urge, try them out when you get the urge to light up :

 

• Take a deep breath and hold it in for a 5 seconds and then exhale as if you had just taken your first puff of a cigarette

Part of the feeling you get from smoking is a direct result of taking a deep breath. A deep breath allows you to take in your maximum amount of oxygen and exhaling lets out huge amounts of carbon dioxide. The feeling you are left with will be relaxation.

 

• Take a sip of water several times during the times you have the urge to smoke

It will help eliminate the need to smoke and will give you something to do with your hands and will also flush nicotine out of your body.

 

• Put something in your mouth such as a pen, toothpick, tea spoon.

 

• Keep yourself so busy that you will not even have a chance of think of having a cigarette until your urge is over

 

• Chew a piece of gum or eat some hard or suckable candy to keep your mouth occupied until the urge is over
