Tips to quit smoking

Don't buy cigarettes: Think of your lungs turning black with every puff kinda like the inside of a chimney, think of all the money you can save, think of an ash tray filled up and then kissing that.....Think of bad circulation, breathing problems. Do you still feel like smoking?

Really brave!: Smoking is highly addictive. highly dangerous for YOU!. Find something that soothes you that's OK for your body: Eat favorite ice cream; play ball; swim; Do special breathing (4 breaths in thru nose; 4 hold; then 8 breaths out through mouth)..Sing favorite melody ; Get endorphins flowing to brain by exercise; Watch old Marx Brothers movies and laugh; Help a person in need and rejoice!

Utilize tools: Quitting is very difficult; it may take several attempts before you give up the habit for good. Success is increased if you have support and work with your health care providers. Research shows that a combination of nicotine replacement therapy or other FDA approved smoking cessation medication AND counseling is most effective as it helps you stay on track and overcome obstacles.
