Here are 12 techniques that will help you quit the habit!.
Remember - you can do it!
1!. Deep Breathing Perhaps The Single Most Powerful And Important Technique: Every time you want a cigarette, do the following!. Do it three times!.
Inhale the deepest lung-full of air you can, and then, very slowly, exhale!. Purse your lips so that the air must come out slowly!. As you exhale, close your eyes, and let your chin gradually sink over onto your chest!. Visualize all the tension leaving your body, slowly draining out of your fingers and toes, just flowing on out!.

2!. Taking In Fluids:
The first few days, drink LOTS of water and fluids to help flush out the nicotine and other poisons from your body!.
Remember that the urge to smoke only lasts a few minutes, and will then pass!. The urges gradually become farther and farther apart as the days go by!.

So discipline about diet is extra important now!. No one ever said acquiring new habits would be easy!
Nibble on low calorie foods like celery, apples and carrots!. Chew gum or suck on cinnamon sticks!.
Stretch out your meals; eat slowly and wait a bit between bites!.
After dinner, instead of a cigarette, treat yourself to a cup of mint tea or a peppermint candy!.
