But how do you stop smoking?<\/p>\n
It is not an easy path to fight nicotine addiction, but with willpower and support, anyone can get away from addiction.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n It is important that the desire to stop smoking really comes from yourself. Only if you really want to quit smoking can you do it. You decide when you are ready.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Make a personal and detailed list of the reasons why you want to quit smoking. You can look at the list again and again during your withdrawal; it will help you.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n Calculate as realistically as possible how much money you spend on cigarettes per month - and how much money you will save after you quit. You can set aside the money you save each month and use it to fulfil a special wish.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n Set a date to quit smoking and stick to it. In the future, this date can be your personal anniversary of when you started the fight against nicotine addiction.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 5<\/strong><\/p>\n As you are likely to experience withdrawal symptoms, it is important to take care of your body. Drink plenty of water and as little soda or alcohol as possible, exercise and get enough sleep.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n Mentally prepare yourself for the upcoming withdrawal symptoms. Remember that they will pass and that you will be over most of them within a week. If you feel listless or aggressive, remember that it will pass soon.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 7<\/strong><\/p>\n Within the first three months of your withdrawal, you may experience moments when you crave the comfort of a cigarette. Be on your guard and keep telling yourself that it will get easier with time.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 8<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepare your friends for the fact that you will be a bit moody at first, but that you will definitely need their support. In weak moments it is important to talk to friends or family about your thoughts. Of course, the best thing is to quit smoking with someone.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Step 9<\/strong><\/p>\n If you tell yourself that you will probably never smoke another cigarette for the rest of your life, it is likely that you will become weak. It is better to tackle each day anew. Take the theoretical freedom to smoke again at any time, which will fuel your ambition to live another day without cigarettes after this one.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n There is no shame if it doesn't work the first time. Many former smokers took several attempts before they found the right way for them. Just keep trying until you get there.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone knows that smoking is unhealthy.
