I don’t really know how to combat addiction, and I know that saying “just don’t” doesn’t cut it Just remember it’s a mental game

You got this! Try to distract yourself! Go on a run, play some video games, read a book. Anything to keep you focused on something else!

Perhaps my rhyme can keep you inspired After all it’s quite simple you see To keep control of what it is you desired Just replace the smokes in glee With something else, perhaps something green Like jogging or weights And maybe even a good spleen That sounded off but simply open the crate Of imagination and begin to think That perhaps life, Is better when pink

Throw away all your ashtrays and lighters. Put No Smoking signs on every door in your house and in your vehicles. Any 'friends' that offer you cigs or continue to smoke around you are not really 'friends' at all. Good luck.

When I quit I started vaping (way before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon) because I needed the nicotine still and something to keep my hands busy during the day. If you don't want to do that I'd suggest chewing nicorette gum.

Don’t do it, man! Realize that your brain wants you to give in, and wants the easy way out. Easy pleasure. But let me tell you this: easy pleasure keeps you complacent and stagnant. By always seeking the easy way out, you’ll never achieve new and greater things, or grow in your character, you’ll just wither away being content with the nothing you’ve achieved. And at the end of it all, you’ll be a statistic pointing yet again to the fact that cigarettes are absolutely horrible to the body and mind. You won’t leave an impact, or a legacy, you’ll have been the “My Dad/Grandpa/Mom/whatever died cause she smoked. She was never really there for me. I wish she didn’t smoke.” [spoiler]wow that was extreme[/spoiler] Tldr don’t smoke pls, fight the urge Ps. - one little drag or whatever will get you hooked immediately. It’s like an alcoholic getting “just one sip.” After that one little bit, your mind will be so desperatley focusing on trying to get more that you [i]will[/i] give in. So immediatley brush off any thought of relapsing as soon as it pops into your head. Say no and move on. [b]cold showers are IMMENSELY helpful[/b]

Your past the stages of withdrawal. Your current symptoms are do to a change of consistency of your normal life. In this case your mentally condition to having a cigarette at certain times of the day or during certain routines. You need to get past this. I have plenty of times thought the same way. However justifying a reason to have 1 will lead to another. You will buy a pack. Then justify a reason to finish it. The cycle will then continue.

Chew gum. It’s what my uncle did to quit tobacco stuff. Any time he got the craving, he chewed some gum.

It's really hard to resist, but stay strong. It'll obviously pay off in the end.

Smoke some trees, smoky the bear isn't around any more....it's safe.

Every cigarette you smoke takes 7 days off your student loan debt 😎

When the craving hits you concentrate on your breathing for a couple of minutes, generally it helps. Going for a quick walk around the block can work too.

My father had the same idea, but he got lung cancer (he recovered, not to stress you out. It also could’ve been because he already smoked before, though). I wouldn’t suggest it, maybe get some nicotine gum.
