1 HOW TO QUIT SMOKING When thinking about quitting (giving up)… List all the reasons why you want to quit. Every night before going to bed, repeat one of the reasons 10 times.

For example, think of all the time you waste taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, hunting for a light, etc. Set a date for quitting — perhaps a special day like your birthday or a holiday. If you smoke heavily at work, quit during your vacation. Make the date sacred seriously, and don’t let anything change it. Begin to condition yourself physically; start a modest(适度的) exercise; drink more water; get plenty of rest.

Try to avoid wine, coffee, and other drinks which remind you of cigarette smoking. Strike up a conversation with someone instead of a match for a cigarette.
