    Even if you’re not ready to quit cold turkey, or have tried and failed to quit with many other methods, you can start a healthier future by learning to replace smoking. Replacement is the easy way to quit. Instead of trying to change your psychology or your daily rhythm so that there’s no desire for what smoking gives you, or no room for smoking in your routine, when you replace smoking with another behavior, you get to keep living and thinking the way you do now. The only change you’ll have to make is learning to substitute a healthier habit instead of sucking down cancer sticks. This is a new take on a tactic that recovering alcoholics have employed for years: first you switch from liquor to coffee, then from coffee to water, and before you know it you’ve replaced a damaging addiction with a healthy behavior that is great for your body. You can replace smoking with a healthier habit just by following these simple steps.

Why Do You Smoke?

Takeaways
  • To make a substitution with staying power, pick a habit that satisfies the same needs as smoki
  • Try finding something else to do with your mouth, or with your hands.
  • If you're tired & craving a smoke, a quick blast of exercise will give you an instant energy boost.
