have them on you . Plus when the craving goes , you ' re probably going to be very relieved that you didn ' t give in to the urge .
6 . Research
It can be very helpful to fully understand how a cigarette works and this includes studying the ingredients such as tobacco and also the nicotine especially to understand how you become addicted . Although it may seem hard to do , you never know when you ' re going to get a really good idea .
7 . Ignore Peer Pressure
Peer pressure can be really hard to deal with and you can give in to it easily so it can be important to recognise the people and circumstances that create the desire for a cigarette and if it ' s too much , avoid those situations and replace them with other activities that you love to do which make it easier not to think about smoking .
8 . Believe
Sounds a bit cheesy but believe you can do it no matter how many times you have failed in the past , just remember as soon as you succeed once in even delaying a cigarette you know you can do it again .
9 . Record Your Success
Every success you record is another reminder that you can get further and further until you stop because you will look back on it and probably be surprised at how much you resisted it and it can raise your motivation .
10 . No Giving Up
This might be thrown round a lot but it is likely to be the most important information that you will ever get , it doesn ' t matter how much you fail as long as you keep on trying no matter what you can find the ability to stop smoking and live a happy smoke free life .
