There are a few things that you can do to increase your chances and probability of quitting smoking successfully. Many research papers into smoking have highlighted several things the average smoker, soon to be non smoker, can do to ensure that there’s an increased chance of them successfully transitioning. The first thing a smoker can do is to make sure that they make it extremely difficult to smoke.
When you’ve cleaned your car, spent a couple of hundred dollars deodorizing it and detailing it, you certainly reduce the chances of you deciding to go back to the horrible habit whist in your car. If you get rid of all ashtrays and other tobacco products such as lighters, and remaining cigarettes – you’ve made it even more difficult to smoke and therefore increased your chances of remaining smoke free even during those highly stressful moments.
Another good quality tip is to write down on a piece of paper some of the main reasons why you’d like to smoke. Hopefully one of them includes your health. You’re not going to be able to earn a million dollars in your hospital bed, breathing out of a tube whilst you attempt to recover from lung cancer surgery. If you write down these reasons on the back of a business card you’ll be able to carry around these reasons in your wallet – giving you the ability to take the card out and read those reasons during the day or evening when you’re out and about.
If you find yourself tempted at a party or at a friends house you’ll be able to read those reasons and rediscover the path of being a non smoker more easily. There are people out there that can help you make this transition to a non smoking lifestyle. Many benefits have been found in hypnosis and many hypnotherapists can provide you with stop smoking tips as well as the hypnosis to guide you.
