Solid Tips For You To Finally Stop Smoking A nicotine addiction is extremely difficult to break, but you can do it. If you aren't sure how to stop, here are some extremely effective tips for quitting smoking. With the help of these tips, you will finally be able to stop. 1. Give yourself a compelling reason to stop smoking. It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as it means something to you. When you have a strong reason to stop smoking, it is easier for you to stay committed to the goal. 2. Taper off instead of going "cold turkey". If you suddenly stop the flow of nicotine that your body has been used to for months or years, your body will not like it. You will have nasty withdrawal symptoms that can be avoided if you just taper off. It will also help you psychologically, since you can go at your own rate. 3. Talk to your doctor about your options. A doctor can help you watch your health and make sure you are doing things safely. He can also prescribe medication to help you stop smoking. You can decide what is right for you, but your doctor can help give you the tools to realize the safety of all your choices. 4. Reduce stress. When people feel stressed out, they are more likely to smoke. More than that, quitting will present you with new stress in your life. Make every effort to find ways to cope with your stress, whether it be with deep breathing exercises, nature hikes, or therapy. Dealing with stress in a healthy way will help stop you from turning to cigarettes. 5. Clean your house. That may seem like a silly suggestion, but cleaning out your house will help you get rid of all the smoke smelling items you have in your house. Have everything thoroughly cleaned, and you will enjoy the smell of something clean; you won't want the smell of smoke to come into your house again. 6. Reach out to loved ones for support. Your family and friends know you better than everyone else,
