* Don't worry if you are sleepier or more short-tempered than usual; these feelings will pass.
* Try to exercise-take walks or ride a bike.
* Consider the positive things about quitting, such as how much you like yourself as a non-smoker, health benefits for you and your family, and the example you set for others around you. A positive attitude will help you through the tough times.
* When you feel tense, try to keep busy, think about ways to solve the problem, tell yourself that smoking won't make it any better, and go do something else.
* Eat regular meals. Feeling hungry is sometimes mistaken for the desire to smoke.
* Start a money jar with the money you save by not buying cigarettes.
* Let others know that you have quit smoking-most people will support you. Many of your smoking friends may want to know how you quit. It's good to talk to others about your quitting.
* If you slip and smoke, don't be discouraged. Many former smokers tried to stop several times before they finally succeeded. Quit again.
If you need more help, see your doctor.
He or she may prescribe nicotine gum or a nicotine patch to help you break your addiction to cigarettes.(winternet.com)
