How to quit smoking?

Smoking is that habit which begins as a style. Then turns into a "break-time" filler where in you use it for striking a conversation, social networking etc.

Further it becomes a stress reliever of sorts. This phase is most dangerous when you have lost the "pleasure" smoking use to give you when you began the journey.

Finally, its a stage when you are addicted to smoking so much so that you are not able to live without a puff in the air for more than couple of hours. Some simple steps if your heart is saying you need to quit smoking.

1. Reduce the amount of money you carry as cash in your wallet. Meaning do not have too much free cash. Progressively get it to zero.

2. Body fitness regime is one good way to divert mind's attention and helps in stabilizing and making mind more stronger for the cause called "quit smoking"

3. Do not purchase cigarettes in bulk ever. Its always one at a time.

4. Smoke only when you want to and not when your colleague/friend wants to.

5. Try alternatives to pacify your body's nicotine needs like Nicotine bubble gum, Electronic cigarette etc.

6. Practice meditation/yoga. There are a whole of websites which talk about mindfulness, meditation and yoga

7. Have a strong mind and determination with a single goal to quit smoking. Spend more time with people who talk positives and discourage smoking.

8. Use alternate relieving measures apart from above mentioned like coffee, tea which are less harmful and more health advantageous
