Smoking cessation advice:
1. Hold your mouth
When you want to light a cigarette, use gum, candy, or healthy snacks to take the lead. Besides, drinking more water is also good. Studies have found that drinking water with a straw to simulate smoking can help relieve bad emotions to a certain extent. You can try it.
2. Brush your teeth often
You can brush your teeth after eating. Many people who quit smoking report that to keep their breath fresh, the desire to lighten cigarettes after brushing their teeth is not so strong.
3. Keep yourself busy
Work hard, spend time with your family, do housework, etc. The busier you are, the less likely it is to want to smoke. Also, exercise can help relieve stress. Remember to take time every day to exercise.
4. Cultivate hobbies and control emotions
Negative emotions are a common reason for people to re-smoker. Especially in the first few weeks of quitting smoking, everyone will feel bad and feel very upset. Find something to do that can both distract and relieve stress. For example, develop hobbies other than smoking, and if you need funds, use the money you originally bought cigarettes to do.
5. Seek help from a doctor
It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for the help of a doctor. Under the guidance of a doctor, rational use of nicotine replacement (patch) or bupropion sustained-release tablets can increase the success rate of smoking cessation. Also, don't just buy smoking cessation products that are natural and have no side effects. Most of them are deceptive.
