- Keep very busy
today.
- Go to a movie.
- Exercise.
- Take long walks.
- Go bike riding.
- Spend as much free
time as you can where smoking isn't allowed. Some good places are
malls, libraries, museums, theaters, department stores, and places
of worship.
- Do you miss having a
cigarette in your hand? Hold something else. Try a pencil, a paper
clip, a marble, or a water bottle.
- Do you miss having
something in your mouth? Try toothpicks, cinnamon sticks, lollipops,
hard candy, sugarfree gum, or carrot sticks.
- Drink a lot of water
and fruit juice. Avoid drinks like wine and beer. They can trigger
you to smoke.
