The 5 Ds To Quitting Smoking
- Drink water
Nicotine is water soluble. The more you drink, the quicker the nicotine gets flushed out of your system.
- Deep breath
This is a good stress reduction technique. Many people pick up their cigarettes because they are stressed or are anticipating a stressful situation.
- Delay
Most urges last two minutes, so do your best to outlast your urges, take a walk or eat a carrot.
- Discuss with friends
Having someone to talk to at a moment when you feel the urge to smoke may be the distraction you need until the urge passes.
- Do something else
This will take your mind off the urge you are experiencing. Try picking up a new hobby or keeping your hands busy.
