Are you convinced? Here's how to take the plunge and quit smoking!
Smoking cessation starts with MOTIVATION! To start your new life without tobacco, list down all the reasons why you want to quit smoking and keep this list with you to reread it when you're feeling a little weak ๐ (You already have a small list above ๐).Once the motivation is right, you need to set your quit date. This is the starting point for your smoking cessation.
After that, you should downloadd Kwit and enter your quit date so that you are more than ready to begin. Your first successes will come in the first few hours without smoking!
Lastly, be prepared for potential cravings by replacing smoking habits with other things:
For example:
I smoke a cigarette because I'm bored : Keep yourself busy in another way: with a coloring book, a game on your phone, a walk in the park next door, it's up to you ๐
I smoke a cigarette because I'm stressed : Offset the cigarette with a relaxing activity (everyone is stressed but not everyone is a smoker, non-smokers also have ways to manage their stress). For example, do breathing exercises, get some fresh air, eat a fruit or drink detox juices. Find more information on how manage your stress here
So don't wait any longer! Start quitting smoking with Kwit ๐
