Within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, your blood pressure and pulse rate will drop to a normal level. In addition, body temperature in your hands and feet increases to normal. Soon after, you’ll find that your lung capacity has improved, physical activity is easier, and you have more energy. Over time, you will reduce your risk of heart disease, COPD, emphysema and many cancers.

Stay motivated. Make a list of reasons to quit and carry the list where you can see it. Revisit these reasons when you have the urge to smoke or vape.

Set a date. Quitting smoking is one of the most important health decisions a person can make, but it takes work and commitment. Setting a quit date in advance and making preparations is key to starting a new, smoke-free life.

Remove evidence of cigarettes.To get smoking out of your life, clean out your car, wash your clothes, put away your ashtrays, and get rid of all your cigarettes. Keeping cigarettes or lighters “just in case” undermines your self-confidence.

Change your routine.Cut smoke breaks out of your life and remove temptations by changing your routine as much as possible. For example, sit in a different place at the kitchen table, take a new route to work or drink tea instead of coffee.

Reward yourself for not smoking.Set short and long term goals, and reward yourself for each milestone you reach. Making a “contract” with yourself or a friend can help you stay resolved.

Drink more water.When you have the urge to smoke, drinking water can combat the craving and get your mind off of smoking. Also avoid alcohol and caffeine, which are common triggers for people who smoke.

Plan ahead for temptation.Eat frequent, small meals to stabilize your blood sugar levels. Keep substitutes (such as carrots, raisins, gum, hard candy and lollipops) handy to keep your hands and mouth busy. You can also keep your hands busy by carrying a stress ball, a doodle pad or a pack of cards.

Get moving. When a craving hits, get up and go for a walk, do some push-ups or call a friend. Staying active will keep your mind off of smoking until the craving passes.

Find support.Be proactive about spending time with non-smokers and/or ex-smokers. Plan non-smoking tactics before you go to events where other people might be smoking.

Don’t be discouraged. Many former smokers tried to stop several times before they finally succeeded. If you give in to a craving, don’t let it get you down. Examine what went wrong, learn from what happened and quit again!

Counseling and quit smoking medication, when used in combination, are even more effective than either of them taken alone.When you quit smoking, you immediately gain health benefits such as improved lung function, improved circulation and a new confidence to live tobacco-free.
