3. TAKE A Deep breath Inhale through your nose and hold it for a count of 5. Slowly breathe out through your mouth for a count of 7. This will help you relax and stave off cravings. If your urges get really bad, take deep breaths as if you’re smoking a cigarette. 14
4. DISTRACT yourself There are lots of great ways to take your mind off smoking. For example: Get busy: Chewing gum or sucking on hard candies keeps your mouth busy, while toothpicks or straws do the same for your hands and mouth. Doodle while on the phone at work, and take frequent walks. Eat more slowly and savour the flavours of your food. Load up the fridge: Snacking is another great way to cope with nicotine cravings and the habit of always having something in your mouth. Try to fill the fridge with healthy snacks, such as ripe fruit and crisp veggies, to prevent weight gain. Exercise: Go for a walk when you usually have a cigarette. Distract yourself by taking someone with you, listening to your favourite tunes, or making a phone call. Routinely getting your ass in gear will curb cravings and make you feel better. Make a plan: Last but not least, keep your Quit Plan handy, so you can find it quickly in times of need! Click here to download a Quit Plan you can fill out and use to stay on track. 15
