A member asked:
What should i do when i get the urge to smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Substitute: Substitute other actions: a sharp intake of breath, as though inhaling but without smoke. Chew a piece of gum or crush a mint. Take deep breaths and calm yourself. Wait until the urge passes. Maybe walk by a stuffed ashtray and congratulate yourself that you are no longer tied to this habit. Calm and positivity are key.
