Nicotine withdrawal can cause these symptoms. BEHAVIORAL CHANGES TO HELP YOU QUIT You can make changes in your daily behavior to help you quit smoking on your own; some people also choose to participate in individual or group support sessions (see 'In-person support' below). Combining behavioral changes with a medication increases your chances of quitting successfully. Problem solving/skills training — When preparing to quit, it is important to identify situations or activities that increase your risk of smoking or relapse. After identifying these situations, you may need to develop new coping skills. This may include one or more of the following: ●Make lifestyle changes to reduce stress and improve quality of life, such as starting an exercise program or learning relaxation techniques. Vigorous exercise can enhance the ability to stop smoking and avoid relapse and also helps to minimize or avoid weight gain. ●Minimize time with smokers and in places where smoking is allowed. People who live with smokers can consider negotiating with them to stop smoking at home or in the car. ●Recognize that cravings frequently lead to relapse. Cravings can be prevented to some degree by avoiding situations associated with smoking, by minimizing stress, and by avoiding alcohol. Cravings will subside. Keep oral substitutes (such as sugarless gum, carrots, sunflower seeds, etc) handy for when cravings develop. ●Try to avoid thoughts like "having one cigarette will not hurt"; one cigarette typically leads to many more. ●Have as much information as possible about what to expect during a quit attempt and how to cope during this time. These can easily be found online, by calling a smokers' quitline, or by talking with a health care provider or counselor. Support groups can be helpful. Some medical centers have patient resources or learning centers with self-help materials. Support — Having consistent support is extremely helpful in quitting smoking and staying off cigarettes. Support can come from family and friends, a health care provider, a counselor, online resources, and/or support groups. In addition to getting ongoing encouragement, it is important to have someone you can talk to about any problems you have while trying to quit, such as weight gain, lack of support from family and friends, or prolonged withdrawal symptoms. In-person support — Some people find it helpful to talk with a "coach" who can help support you throughout the process. This often involves regular visits beginning before your quit date and continuing for several months afterwards. Group counseling sessions are another option; many different organizations offer group programs. These typically include lectures, group meetings for mutual support, discussion of coping skills, and suggestions for preventing relapse.

Here are some ways that help  to resist the urge to smoke *. Try nicotine replacement therapy Short-acting nicotine replacement therapies — such as nicotine gum, lozenges, nasal sprays or inhalers — can help you overcome intense cravings. *. Avoid triggers Identify your trigger situations and have a plan in place to avoid them entirely or get through them without smoking . Don't set yourself up for a smoking relapse. If you usually smoked while you talked on the phone, for instance, keep a pen and paper nearby to occupy yourself with doodling rather than smoking. *. Delay If you feel like you're going to give in to your smoke craving, tell yourself that you must first wait 10 more minutes — and then do something to distract yourself for that period of time. *. Chew on it Give your mouth something to do to fight a smoking  craving. Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy, or munch on raw carrots, celery, nuts or sunflower seeds — something crunchy and satisfying. *. Don't have 'just one' You might be tempted to have just one cigarette to satisfy a tobacco craving. But don't fool yourself into believing that you can stop there. More often than not, having just one leads to another— and you may end up using it  again. *. Get physical Physical activity can help distract you from tobacco cravings and reduce their intensity. Even short burst of physical activity — such as running up and down the stairs a few times — can make a tobacco craving go away. Get out for a walk or jog. If you're stuck at home or the office, try squats, deep knee bends, pushups, running in place, or walking up and down a set of stairs. If physical activity doesn't interest you, try prayer, needlework, woodwork or journaling. Or do chores for distraction, such as vacuuming or filing paperwork. *. Practice relaxation techniques Smoking may have been your way to deal with stress. Resisting a tobacco craving can itself be stressful. Take the edge off stress by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep-breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, yoga, visualization, massage or listening to calming music. *. Call for reinforcements Touch base with a family member, friend or support group member for help in your effort to resist a tobacco craving. Chat on the phone, go for a walk together, share a few laughs, or get together to commiserate about your cravings. *. Go online for support Join an online stop-smoking program. Or read a quitter's blog and post encouraging thoughts for someone else who might be struggling with tobacco cravings. Learn from how others have handled their tobacco cravings. *. Remind yourself of the benefits Write down or say out loud the reasons you want to stop smoking and resist tobacco cravings. These might include: Feeling betterGetting healthierSparing your loved ones from secondhand smokeSaving money Remember, trying something to beat the urge is always better than doing nothing. And each time you resist a tobacco craving, you're one step closer to being totally tobacco-free. Good luck
