7 Proven Ways to Resist the Urge to Smoke by Arina Nikitina

For example, instead of smoking while drinking your morning

coffee you could read a newspaper. Instead of smoking

after the hot argument with your colleague you can take a

walk around a block or write down everything you think

about this person, then tier this piece of paper in shreds

and throw it away. Don't be lazy, write it down! This

exercise really works!

4. Call your friend.

This method works great. Call someone who can support

you, who can talk with you for a couple of minutes. You

can call your nonsmoking friend, or someone who's trying

to quit smoking too.

5. Distract yourself with a quick task.

Think of a small task you have to do, something what

would take you 5-10 minutes. Make a call, send a fax, make

yourself a cup of coffee, water the plant in your office.

Anything! Your task is to distract yourself until the urge will

pass. (Hint: Try to find activity that makes smoking

impossible!)

6. Drink a Glass of Water.

Take a glass of water and drink it with a straw. First of all

having something in your mouth to chew on will help,

second it will take you a couple of minutes to drink the

whole glass and the urge will pass. Plus, don't forget that

you're supposed to drink 8 glasses of water every day!

7. Power Tip.

That’s the disgusting one, but it often works. Print a small

picture of smoker's lungs (you can find one here:

http://www.quitsmokingsupport.com/lungphotos.html ) and

put it somewhere in your wallet. I know the view is not

pretty, but something like this can stop you dead on your

track from lighting up. Take a look! Really! THIS could be

your lungs! You love yourself, and you respect your body.

Why harm yourself?
