Previously, I wrote 9 practical steps on how to quit smoking. Let me add few extra tips to overcome this difficult quitting smoking challenge. Consider these extra points to make your transition from a chain-smoker to a non-smoker successful.

Be a cigarette hater. To ensure you never go back to the smoking craving, develop a deep abhorrence for tobacco so it will be beyond you to ever start again.

Wear a rubber band. Keeping a rubber band around your wrist at all times is a behavioral psychology trick. When you get the craving for smoking, snap the rubber band hard enough to feel some pain. Before long, your mind will associate a cigarette craving with pain and your subconscious will finally stop asking for a smoke.

Exercise. Keep your lungs busy long enough to dampen the urge by doing some hectic exercise. It will not only get away the urge to smoke it will also keep you physically fit and healthy.

Eat regularly. Eat regular meals at regular hours so that you will be able to anticipate your smoking urges better while at the same time improving your health. Eating regularly will not only keep you from overeating but also from gaining weight, which is the common side effects of quitting smoking.

Finally, always remember that there are no pros to smoking, only cons. Nobody can force you to quit smoking but be sure to take on the challenge at the right time in your life. When you’re doing your best to compensate for smoking by doing something else, be careful not to develop another bad habit in the process!
