A lot of folks smoke when they are worried. If you are one of them, you could look for other outlets for your frustrations instead so that you don’t turn to the cigarette. You might be surprised to find that you feel the urge less and less when there’s something else to occupy your mind when you are worried. More so, just being worried is counterproductive. Try as much as you can to avoid being worried all the time.
When someone fails at trying to stop smoking, you don’t want to be laughing at them because that is the way it is with just about everyone who tries to stop a chronic habit like smoking. The substance holds on to you, and does not let go very easily. Breaking that habit will take a lot out of anyone, and if your friend is the one with the smoking problem, you should be helping him or her, not laughing.
Sip water very slowly every time you have a craving for the cigarette. Actually it is the nicotine in the substance that is calling for you, and your natural instinct will be to heed that call. If you however dowse that fire by drinking very cold water, you could find that the fire dies down a bit. Keep that up for a bit, and the cravings will finally take a hike. Having someone that you care a lot about might help you stop smoking. In truth, I know that a lot of people do it in defiance of their parents or some other such figure in their lives. However when they find someone that they don’t want to be selfish with, they could do it for them. Every time you feel like smoking, think about the person that you are hurting, and you will learn to leave the bad habit well alone.
