QUIT SMOKING
Just a few simple tricks go a long way in helping smokers lead a healthier lifestyle.
-
Chew gum or toothpicks instead of smoking.
-
Brush your teeth every time you have an urge to smoke.
-
Hang out in places that don't allow smoking.

Thinking of quitting smoking for good?
Pick a date and tell
everyone you know. The peer pressure will help you stick to your word.
Then go online to
www.quit.com
to help build a "quit plan." The site offers great individualized tips
on how to get ready emotionally and physically to quit for good.
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. Quitting isn't as easy as
non-smokers would like you to think. But, with the right attitude and
plan, it can be done.
Identify goal rewards
The average smoker
saves $1600 per year when they quit smoking. For every pack of
cigarettes you WERE going to buy, put the money in a big jar. Decide
in advance how you are going to spend it. Don't pick paying bills,
choose something fun like a vacation, shopping spree, sporting equipment,
etc.
