what do you do instead of smoke?

Question

need tips for things to make me 4get a cig at the bad times

Answer 1

Sleep, sleep, & sleep. Eat, eat, & eat--mainly carrots sticks, celery sticks and raisins. Brush your teeth a lot--a clean feeling mouth discourages smoking. Avoid situations that you always lit up--talking on phone, etc. Take heart, as each day you can stay off, the easier it gets. At first, smoking was all I could think about--I just tried to get through it one day at a time. After two weeks or so, I didn't think about nearly as much. It's been 20 yrs now--I hate the smell of smoke and everything about it. Good Luck to you.

Answer 3

in all of my attempts...you think about it, you worry about it, wonder if just one will help you get over the edge....then, you turn it over to your higher power (in my case God) ask for help, buy a small make-up bag, and fill it with stuff-tooth brush, and paste, tooth picks (plaqers are great) gum, mints, and a "special" candy for those really tough times. don't put any kind that will melt...altoids are good, life savers, apple/carmel lolli pops, you get the idea.
my dad quit over 10 years ago, and my mom quit a little over 8. I pray every day that I have the strength, wisdom, and will power to do the same! my children are getting to the ages that it bothers them to see me smoking, and them smelling like smoke (no matter how hard I try to keep it away from them, it gets everywhere!!) i've tried "almost" everything!
good luck, and let the rest of us outcasts in on the secret!!!

Answer 4

I've been bombarded with classes and internships, and I haven't had a cigarette since New Years Day. I usually just keep busy and try not to find time to smoke, after about a month I became one of those people that get annoyed by the smell of smoke. :P

Answer 5

Try chewing gum or having a sip of water. Also try to remember why you gave up and how much money you're saving.Save the money you'd spend on cigarettes in a jar and when your down take the money and buy yourself something nice!

Answer 6

that is a very hard thing to do...been there. I recently quit and have 3 kids to stress with. Clean ur walls if ur at home...if u were an inside smoker and r now quitting u will b amazed at how clean the walls will be!!

Answer 7

The things that helped my dramatically were these little candies called Breath Savers...very yummy...and helped me get through the cravings. I also heard of wearing a rubber band on your writst and everytime you get a craving snap it...not sure if it works though...Good for you for quitting smoking!!! You'll thank yourself later...it gets easier and easier everyday!

Answer 8

I had to switch to smoking marijuana, its definetely the less of the 2 evils, but when i run out of weed i start craving cigarettes. and its been 4 years.(except if you have problems functioning on bud) i also take it that the thumbs downers are idio....i mean republicans.

Answer 9

I smoked for 23 years.
I now suck on sugar free candy...(tried them all..Werthers sugar free are very \good). I also carry a cup of Tea everywhere..including the car. It's been almost three years...i am so happy/proud i am rid of that monster. Good luck

Answer 10

Think about the bad ways you can die because of it, read, listen to music, write a song, poem, book, buy the patch i think that might help, the gum, and maybe you could play video games.
