Great Ways to Quit Smoking Cigarettes
There are a ton of ways to quit smoking out there, some of which work and, well, some that don't. While quitting is something that you have to decide to do, here are a few ways to help yourself along the way!
Cold Turkey. Many people scoff at quitting cold turkey, but it deserves more credit than it gets. Want to quit cigarettes as fast as possible? It sounds ridiculous now (you're probably thinking: how am I supposed to just stop? It's an addiction!) but read on and you'll discover that it's not that terrible.
Distraction. Hand in hand with cold turkey, the whole reason why cigarettes are so "hard" to quit is because everybody sits around and thinks about them so much. Keep your mind occupied, and you won't feel the need to smoke all the time.
Think about the times that you've tried quitting, and how that miserable last thirty minutes was spent arguing with yourself over whether or not you should go have "just one cigarette." If you're busy doing something you enjoy, you aren't going to think about that cigarette.
Above all, avoid Nicotine Replacement Therapy. You're trying to quit cigarettes, not replace them with something just as bad! Many people quit smoking only to become addicted to nicotine gum, which is even more expensive than cigarettes.
What's worse, you're keeping nicotine levels in your system up, which has all kinds of fun side effects that you don't want to experience (ask someone who has used the nicotine patch about their dreams while using it, you won't like what you hear!)
