2. Eat small meals to fight the urge to smoke. Try lean healthy option. Biting on a celery or carrot sticks can help.

3. Brush your teeth frequently to wash off the foul taste that smoking can cause. One of the benefits of quitting is that it makes your mouth feel fresh, and breath smell better.

4. Reward your no-smoking achievements. Keep record of your smoke-free days, and note all the positive feelings you get from this. Then give yourself a small token in appreciation of this. You will feel happy and less urges to smoke.

5. Find your no smoking zone. Whenever the urge strikes just head to an area where smoking isn’t allowed.
