Most Effective Ways to Overcome the Problems Associated With Quitting Smoking

If you are thinking about quitting smoking, that is a great first step.  Quitting smoking can be a huge challenge for even the most committed individual.  Everyone that tries to quit faces challenges so it’s best to be committed when you start.  It is statistically proven that getting help and support when you are ready to quit gives you the best chances of success. Pearl Chemist Group has Stop Smoking Services in Mitcham to help and support you whilst you quit.

The best ways to quit are to put a plan in place such as making a change in your diet, make sure you change habits that trigger your desire to smoke, change your socialising to include non-smoking activities and people, and get support with stop smoking services.

Changing Your Diet:
You may desire cigarettes after dinner or after a particular meal. It is known that certain types of food, such as meat, actually increase the desire for a cigarette.

There are some foods that actually make cigarettes taste bad and you may want to consider eating these last in your meal to help alleviate cravings.  Even if you do have one, foods such as cheese, vegetables and fruits will make it taste awful.

Change What You Drink:
Certain drinks can also trigger your desire for cigarettes, or trigger a habit that includes cigarettes. Coffee, alcohol, fizzy drinks and tea can not only make you want to smoke out of habit, they can all make cigarettes taste better.

You should consider drinking more water and pressed fruit juices. Neither of these tend to trigger habitual or taste cravings for cigarettes. For a further deterrent, add ice or ensure that these drinks are cold if you can endure it.

Engage in Non-Smoking Activities and Make Non-Smoking Friends:
Any good non-smoking plan should include changes to the way you socialise.  If you smoke now, there is a good chance that you have both smoking and non-smoking friends. Make some effort to make better acquaintances with your non-smoking friends and join them for their non-smoking activities.
