No Smoking Day falls on the second Wednesday of March to encourage ‘quit smoking’ and ‘smoke-free future’. The day warns about the dangers of smoking. Follow the tips and say goodbye to smoking this 13th of March.
Smoking is dangerous and causes heart disease, cancer, stroke, lung disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Quitting smoking can be challenging, but awards you with a new life.
Choose a specific date and commit to quitting smoking on that day. Slowly, lower the intake of smoking you do a day and make it count to ‘zero’.
Get rid of all the cigarettes, ashtrays, and lighters from your home, office, and car.
Keep a stock of sugar-free gums, candy, and fruits readily available. This will satisfy your oral cravings.
Try to engage in the activities you like - listen to music, read books, watch movies, or be busy with the office stuff. It can be an effective way to quit smoking.
Meditation, breathing exercises, and stretching regularly will help you relax and reduce the urge to smoke.
If you are unable to get rid of smoking on your own, then consult the doctor. Medications, a quit plan, and required advisory will help you in the goal of achieving a smoke-free lifestyle.
