If you are trying to quit your smoking habit, however heavy a smoker you are it can be a very difficult time and it might also be hard to try and find yourself some motivation.
Some of the best motivational tips might include:
Finding a support group. Finding a support group, through the NHS or even on the internet, means you can talk to people who are in a similar position to you. These people may have helpful hints on how to control habits and cravings. Also you can do this anonymously if you are on the internet so there is no need to feel embarrassed. Local town support groups means you can talk to people face to face and even make some friends along the way.
Set yourself smaller goals. You need to be able to track your progress along the way; otherwise you won't know how well you're doing. If you give yourself smaller goals it can help you to get more motivated and this means you are likely to stick at it. You can then give yourself rewards when you reach a goal.
Give yourself some help, do not try and go cold turkey. If you are a regular or heavy smoker, trying using the e cigarette (electronic cigarette) to help control cravings.
Talk to friends and family. You can get a great deal of strength from your family and so do make sure you talk about what you're going through and how well you're doing- they can encourage you to keep going.
Keep busy. Decide to quit smoking when you're busy, and then you won't have the time to think about your cravings or when you are having your next cigarette. Before you know it, you will have gone a day without smoking and then you are one day down.
One popular way to give up is by using the electronic cigarette. The e cigarette is an inhaler whichh might be able to help you kick your habit.
