It’s National No Smoking Day and multiCIG would like to help you to give up smoking traditional cigarettes for a more healthy lifestyle! Just follow our top 5 tips to help you on your way.
Don’t go it Alone
Giving up is hard enough so don’t do it on your own. Let friends and family know that you’re quitting and your reasons why. Not only will they be extremely supportive but if they are smokers themselves they might actually want to join you! A friend’s encouragement could be the difference between lighting up and resisting the urge. Don’t fancy telling friends and family? You could also consider joining a support group or visiting your local NHS; there are plenty of kits and services available to help you on your way.
Avoid Stress & Triggers
Many people smoke more when faced with stressful situations and certain triggers. You won’t be able to pick up a cigarette in times of stress so you’ll need to find other ways to relax that you find just as enjoyable. You could try massages, yoga or even just listening to relaxing music. It’s also important that you avoid smoking triggers when you’re giving up. Different people have different triggers, so find what works for you. If you normally have a cigarette after a meal for example, replace this with something else like a cup of tea or brushing your teeth and after a few weeks the habit should be gone!
Nicotine Replacement
Quitting smoking can be really tough, especially as your body will begin to experience nicotine withdrawal. This can make you feel a whole host of emotions from frustration to anger and make you incredibly restless. E-cigarettes are being used by thousands of smokers looking to quit as they provide you with a nicotine hit but without the toxins of a regular cigarette. You can buy them in varying strengths and flavours making it easier to cut down. Why not try multiCIG e-cigarettes and give it a go?
Prescription Medication
If you want to quit without the nicotine withdrawal symptoms but don’t want to use products containing nicotine then go and speak to your GP. They may be able to prescribe you certain medicines designed to reduce cravings. They work by altering certain receptors in your brain which might also make it less satisfying if you do give in and have a cigarette.
Choose a Reward
Giving up smoking can be hard work so it’s important that you reward yourself. Giving yourself targets and something nice to work towards can make all the difference so find something that would make you really happy and only let yourself have it if you reach certain milestones. Not only will you be reaping the health benefits but you’ll also be saving money once you’ve quit so why not put the money in a pot and treat yourself to something fun as a reward for all your hard work!
These are just 5 tips to help give up smoking this March but there are lots of other things people do to kick the habit, find what works for you and stick with it for a healthier, wealthier life!
