Stopping smoking? These eight tips will be of considerable help in your gruelling battle to change your life. They might seem simple when you read them but begin implementing and you will know what it takes to stop smoking. We are sure you have read some thing on how to begin the process of quitting, if not read our earlier posts on the subject. Anyway, here are the tips to a smoke free life.

1. Most smokers don’t exercise. Begin by doing so. Begin a religious work out at an expensive gym. The money you pay for the membership will keep you from leaving and after a while you will enjoy the health benefits. You can start from a half an hour program of 2 to 3 times a week and then increase it to 5 to 6 times over a few months. However, seek advice from a physician before joining one.

2. Visit the dentist and get your teeth polished. After the stain removal, you will like the way you smile! Another incentive to quit. Plan to keep your teeth this way.

3. Visit the smoking area in your club or office and search for another person who is trying to quit. Two heads are better than one and this quitting buddy will be a big help for motivation and companionship.

4. There are two common ways of quitting- one is the gradual process and the other is the “Cold Turkey” method or the abrupt way. After a few weeks of quitting, you will realize which will work best for you. Stick to one however.

5. When you are on the journey of quitting, celebrate milestones. For example, after a week, eat out. After a fortnight, go to a party. After a month, go on a vacation. Celebrate your decision with these joys as they will then work like magic. You could even celebrate your “Quitting Anniversary” with a party.

6. Avoid things which trigger your desire to smoke. Go in for alternatives to keep in your hand, like straws, artificial cigarettes, or even a hand grip.

7. Drink lots and lots of water and fluids to cleanse your system of toxic poisons and nicotine remnants in your body.

8. Most importantly, don’t falter midway - finish what you started. Think of your milestones, achievements, the positive changes and many other things imparted to you after quitting smoking.
