Keep Busy at All Times
For someone who is trying to stop smoking, a cigarette is the first thing you will think about when you’re bored and a popular reason to begin to smoke again.
Keeping yourself and your hands busy is the key to avoiding these times. Try new and different hobbies or activities to maximise the chances of achieving your goal of being smoke free.
Activities such as the ones mentioned here are very good ways to keep yourself occupied, aswell as things like crossword puzzles, gardening, painting, or taking the dog for a walk, all help keep you and your hands busy.
Find something that you enjoy and is easy and relaxing to do to replace your cravings. If you don’t enjoy it you’ll get bored and return to your old ways, so keep changing and trying new activities till you find the right one for you.
