How to quit smoking in a few days?

If you decide that it is time to tie with the addiction, read our article and find out how this can be done in a few days.

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits. Cigarettes adversely affect not only smokers, but also the people around them. 

As you know, Monday is a hard day. Therefore, it is best to start tying with smoking on other days, for example, on weekends. 

We have prepared a list of cases with which you can escape from the desire to smoke a cigarette and do more useful things. 

Give up cigarettes shortly before bedtime

After eight in the evening, the amount of nicotine in the body falls. Therefore, many people wake up expressed desire to smoke. Often, smokers smoke before breakfast, so their tactics in the style “from tomorrow I no longer smoke” often do not work. 

If you just quit smoking, smoke an extreme cigarette before 8 pm, then in the morning it will be easier to give up a new dose of nicotine.

Eat a light breakfast

Prepare a light and healthy breakfast. As a drink, give preference to tea or plain water. Include a banana, chocolate or citrus products in your breakfast. Eggplants, tomatoes and peppers will also benefit.

These vegetables contain a small amount of nicotine, so they can help relieve withdrawal syndrome. 

You can drink a glass of milk. After him you do not want to smoke, because the product spoils the taste of tobacco products. 

Clean up the apartment

Do a wet cleaning and ventilate the apartment. The room will immediately breathe easily. If you smoked in the room, wash the tulle by hand, the dark color of the water will make you oil over the harmful effects. Put it in the smoking area - hide the lighters, wash the ashtray. 

Tidy up your look

Take a bath or shower. Cool off well, use a fragrant scrub and shower gel. After the bath procedures apply a moisturizer on the body. In smokers, the skin is prone to dryness, and after giving up the bad habit, at first it becomes drier, and then returns to normal. Wash linen and towels that could absorb the smell of tobacco.

Spend time outdoors

Go for a walk in the park or forest. Greens and fresh air help clean the lungs. In addition, the smells of fragrant nature will distract from thoughts about cigarettes.

If there is an annoying desire to smoke, drink juice or plain water or chew the cud. Desire should be shown less and less.

Take an active holiday

If it's warm outside - go cycling, play football, volleyball. In winter, go skiing. When the muscles work, the craving for nicotine decreases. In addition, endorphin (the hormone of joy) grows during active games in the body, which will help alleviate the state during quitting smoking. 

More often among people

Watch people in a crowd or on public transport. Most likely, you will calculate which of them smokes and who does not. Most likely you will not like the smell of tobacco coming from them.

Rest in a cafe

Dine at the cafe. Choose a place where you can not smoke.

Order a dish that you have never tried. You'll see, your taste buds will work in a new way. 

Night movie viewing

The evening often becomes difficult for those who quit smoking. In a relaxed atmosphere after a working day craving for cigarettes can wake up with a new force. Therefore, it is best to give the brain a new food for processing. Go to the movies or watch an interesting movie at home. Take a snack, for example, fresh fruit or popcorn. 

Sum up the day

Analyze and write down what feelings and thoughts came in during the past day. Remember, when I particularly wanted to smoke, and when such a desire practically did not arise. Has a smoking day become bad for you? Are you proud that you managed to hold it without a cigarette? 

Read the notes the next day. Focus on cases during which you wanted to smoke the least. Reread your notes, and they will help not to lose motivation. 

Often it is not easy to quit smoking, but this is real. The main thing is not to stop halfway and replace the desire to smoke more useful things.
