To
Quit Smoking
Mary McGowan, MD
To
quit Smoking...
Change
routines to quit smoking. If you smoke while driving to work, get
to work a different way-in a car pool or by public transportation.
If
you smoke before or after drinking coffee, switch to tea.
If
you associate smoking a cigarette with the end of a meal, leave
the table right after finishing the food, brush your teeth and take
a quick walk.
If
you smoke while drinking an alcoholic beverage, give up alcohol
until you become a nonsmoker.
If
you smoke while watching TV, turn off the set for a few weeks and
start a hobby that requires you to work with your hands.
