You’ve decided to quit smoking. You’ve set yourself a difficult challenge that will require true willpower! The best way to succeed is to quit all at once. This may seem difficult but the result will be quicker and more convincing. After just a few days you will start to feel better. Nicotine substitutes can be useful here and will help you quit immediately rather than gradually reducing your consumption.
At first, be careful with food. Although weight gain is far from automatic, you do run the risk of picking up unhealthy snacking habits.
After a few smoke free days your sense of taste and smell will return to their original state. Enjoy this by rediscovering the flavour of food but remember to eat balanced meals. Try avoiding chocolate and coffee as these can cause a desire to smoke, as well as alcohol and all high calorie products. If need be, consult a dietician.
If you are feeling nicotine withdrawal symptoms and crave a cigarette, have a glass of water, eat some fruit, or chew sugar-free gum. |
