Dealing with Triggers

Cravings often pop up when you’re doing completely unrelated to smoking. Yo might be enjoying a coffee with friends, or a meal with family, when the urge  strikes. So identifying and changing these triggers” is vital if you are going to achieve your ultimate goal of smoking cessation.

Change Your Routine: If you’ve always had a cigarette with your morning coffee, switch to tea or drink your coffee in a different room.
