Some Behavioral Techniques To Help: When you are ready to quit smoking you need to develop a smoking cessation action plan.

This may include any or all the following steps:

 · Tell your family and friends that you intend to quit. Ask them for help and encouragement in the next few months.

· Avoid environments where smoking may be easy, like bars.

· Try not to smoke while at home, in your car or at work. These are places you are likely to spend most of your time.

· Consider what behavioral stimulus may have prevented you from successfully quitting in the past.

· Make sure to avoid any triggers that contribute to smoking.

· Have a plan of attack for dealing with withdrawal symptoms. See the herbal remedies and herbal patches in the related items section.

Cigarette addiction is related to the habitual behaviors or the rituals that are automatic in your nature. You need to change the automatic nature of your smoking behavior. Artificial cigarettes or cigarette filters can be useful for overcoming these habitual behaviors.
