hello,To increase your motivation to quit smoking and get rid of cigarettes, you must:
Be convinced of the many downsides of smoking;,,
Identify the benefits TO YOU of living without cigarettes;,,
Know that the benefits and aid you get from cigarettes can be obtained in other ways;,,and
Understand that the problems of quitting are temporary, but the benefits will last for a lifetime..
they are nicotine chewing gums availbale over the counter in medical stores , which can be used to avoid cravings, spend more time with people who dont smoke. avoid drinking which is also a trigger. all the best.
