Key #1: Identify your triggers
Every smoker has their triggers for smoking. Whether it's morning coffee, breaks at work, your best friend across from you on a bar terrace, or even phone calls with your banker (he knows how to raise stress levels!) ... it's important to recognize when the urge to smoke a cigarette is strongest so you can better anticipate them!

Key #2: Surround yourself with support
Taking on this challenge alone can be difficult and daunting. Team up with friends, colleagues, or family for mutual support. Take advantage of the opportunity to organize this no-smoking month challenge with friends because the more, the merrier!
Support can make all the difference and boost your motivation to say goodbye to cigarettes for good!
Key #3: Exercise (and boost your well-being)
Exercise is a great way to feel better and fight the urge to smoke cigarettes. Exercise releases endorphins, also known as the "happy hormones".
So don't hesitate to try a new sporting activity, such as yoga, walking, or even aqua pony riding. Find something you enjoy, and that motivates you to move regularly.
