Experiences for people quitting smoking
(Baonghean.vn) - Smoking is harmful to health and most smokers have tried to quit smoking many times, but then relapsed. So how can one successfully quit smoking?
1. Remember the reasons for quitting smoking: With an addictcigarette, if on average a person smokes 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day with an average market price of about 25,000 VND/pack, then each day he spends up to 50,000 VND and each month at least 1.5 million VND on smoking. This is not a small amount of money. On the other hand, there have been cases where a father smoked in his own house and his two children got severe pneumonia, which was life-threatening. In addition, at work, if you want to smoke, you have to go outside, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, quitting smoking is more convenient for work.

3. Find healthy habits: To be able to quit smoking successfully, we need to “handle” this bad habit and replace it with another harmless habit. For example, when we are stressed, instead of smoking a few cigarettes, we should stand up and go outside, breathe deeply for a few minutes, massage our neck and shoulders, etc. These actions really help us overcome stress more easily than smoking.
4. Limit participation in parties and drinking with alcohol.: Drinking parties and celebrations often come with cigarettes, alcohol, and beer. Participating in these parties, it is often difficult to resist the urge to smoke and in the end, one often says, "I'll just smoke this one time and that's it."
