Quitting Smoking...

[Pauline Ashford]

This is what I give to my patients who want to give up smoking
TRYING TO GIVE UP SMOKING
Try Tabacum Fumar
Take a small bottle (like small water or soda bottle)

Fill ¾ with rain or filtered water

Light your favourite cigarette

Inhale

Exhale INTO THE BOTTLE

Repeat until the cigarette is finished

Shake the bottle really well

Pour out 9/10ths of the contents of the bottle

Re-fill

Shake well

Repeat the pour out 9/10ths and refill. 5 more times.

You now have a bottle of 6X (roughly) tobacco smoke.
SIP on bottle whenever you want to light up.

Also remember when you are craving a cigarette

Take 5-10 deep long slow breaths through pursed lips

Even out your fingers up to your lips when you do it

Craving will often pass by time you’ve finished the breaths

As you begin to crave a cigarette you begin to breathe more and more shallowly and when one lights a cigarette up that first drag is often really big

and even though it has smoke with it – it is often the first decent breathe you have had for a while – so do the same just minus the cigarette
Keep your hands occupied – this is one aspect of smoking that is hard to deal with as you are used to having something in your hands - Chupa chup (lolly-pop) plastic sticks are good for this - small and unobtrusive hollow therefore can be sucked through, chewed on, played with etc and fit in a pocket.
Remember don’t be too hard on yourself.

It virtually always takes more than one try to give up.

Just give up again and don’t berate yourself.

Remember nicotine is one of the hardest drugs to give up and every minute, hour or day that you make it through without reverting is worth congratulating yourself for.
Put aside the money you would have spent on cigarettes in cash somewhere you can see it – then treat yourself to something special paid for by the money that you have saved by giving up smoking and tell yourself aloud

“I have/am doing this because I gave up smoking”

and pat yourself on the back
GOOD LUCK

True. I know from own experience that a person needs to want to stop/change
