addictive and often requires professional monitoring .

the habit without taking the help of any medication , just based on your
willpower .

being aware of it ! We know it is not easy to quit smoking and you should know
that too. Do not give up at the first adversity , remember, many succeeded and
you get too! Think of the benefits of leading a healthier life .

, buy ginger and water. They will be very useful later.

permanently . Be sure to stop " when you give will." Mark one day and
be nimble . Generally landmark dates like New Year and anniversaries , for
example , are good occasions and serve as additional stimulus .

gradually reducing the number of cigarettes per day .

them to cooperate in this endeavor . Say you are taking this attitude thinking
on the welfare of all of you .

your objects as smoking packs of cigarettes , lighters and ashtrays .

long time . If it is impossible to stay away from cigarettes others think of
them , not as jealous , but as people who are shortening their lives .

as " a week without smoking " or " a month without
smoking," or making a toast thanking those people who are helping you.

reason that it is leading to a relapse . Some people feel the effects of
withdrawal syndrome (anxiety , increased appetite , headache , etc.) and end up
smoking impulsively . Try to think twice before having a relapse .
12 - Start the practice of physical
activity . Exercise produces endorphins , a substance that lends it pleasure in
physical activities . Daily walking is an excellent exercise and does not
require much investment.
13 - Multiply the value of a packet by
the number of packs per month and multiply the result by 12 months ( eg £ 30 x
4 x 12 = £ 1440/ano ) . You will be surprised at the amount you will save .

not think twice before seeking the assistance of an expert .
