Stay Away from What Tempts You
- Instead of smoking after meals, get up from the table. Brush your teeth
or go for a walk.
- If you always smoke while driving, try something new: Listen to a new
radio station or your favorite music. Take a different route. Or take
the train or bus for a while, if you can.
- Stay away from things that you connect with smoking. Do it today and
for the next few weeks. These may include:
- Watching your favorite TV show
- Sitting in your favorite chair
- Having a drink before dinner
- Do things and go places where smoking is not allowed. Keep this up until
you're sure that you can stay smoke-free.
- Remember, most people don't smoke. Try to be near nonsmokers if you must be somewhere you'll be tempted to smoke, for example at a party or in a bar.
