Certain situations may create an urge to smoke. Review your Smoking Risk Situations. Then think about how you would deal with each one without smoking.
You can also make your own list. If you've smoked recently, add the situation that caused you to smoke, and think of what you would do differently the next time.
Risk situation
Solution
| Having drinks with friends | Go to a place that doesn't allow smoking. Limit your alcohol intake. |
| The end of a meal | Take a few minutes to relax and think about the meal. Does food taste better than it did when you smoked? |
| A stressful situation (like having an argument) | Breathe in and out 10 times slowly with your eyes closed. Imagine walking on a beach or another place you like. |
| Seeing a cigarette ad | Think about how much money you've saved since you stopped buying cigarettes. Think about your inspiration to quit. |
