3. Find healthy habits.To successfully quit smoking, we need to "deal with" this bad habit and replace it with another, harmless habit. For example, when stressed, instead of smoking a few cigarettes, we should stand up, go outside, take a few deep breaths, massage our neck and shoulders, etc. These actions actually help us overcome stress more easily than smoking.
4. Limit participation in parties and drinking sessions involving alcohol.Drinking parties and social gatherings often involve cigarettes, alcohol, and beer. Participating in these events makes it difficult to resist the craving for cigarettes, and in the end, people often think, "Just one last smoke and then I'll quit."
