Choose a specific day to quit smoking, and prepare for it mentally and emotionally.
Figure out what situations, emotions, or activities make you want to smoke, and make a plan to avoid or manage them.
Encourage your child to explore their environment and engage in creative play. Provide a variety of toys and activities that stimulate their senses and imagination.
Consider using nicotine patches, gum, or lozenges to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Replace smoking with healthier habits, such as exercise, meditation, or chewing gum.
These substances can increase cravings and make it harder to quit smoking.
Focus on the benefits of quitting smoking, such as improved health, better breath, and more energy.
If you slip up and smoke, don't give up on quitting. Use it as a learning experience and keep trying until you succeed.
