I want to quit smoking at the age of 50. Is there any good way? thank

Hello: If you want to quit smoking, try to divert your attention. You can chew gum or prepare some snacks when you want to smoke. It's best to control yourself, improve self-control, and don't be with smokers. Tell others that you are quitting smoking: this is very necessary. Because the success or failure of quitting smoking lies in the environment and temptation. The more people know that you quit smoking, the less chance you will be tempted to smoke. Avoid attractive smoking scenes, activities and things. For example, avoid smoky bars and avoid smokers or offices where people smoke.

Try to find a new environment that can help you quit smoking.

Choose the right way to quit smoking:

1。 One-time total withdrawal method: the day before quitting smoking, smoke enough cigarettes until you hate the smell of cigarettes, and then throw away cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters and other smoking utensils that may cause you to smoke.

2。 Decreasing method: Try not to think about smoking in places where smoking is restricted. When you really want to smoke, take out a cigarette in your hand and try to delay the time of lighting it. In this way, smoking less cigarettes a day can also achieve the goal of quitting smoking for a long time.

3。 Analyze the causal relationship of smoking behavior: every time you smoke, record the reasons why you smoke and the results and feelings after smoking, and pay attention to the most inevitable reasons for smoking every day.

Record it for at least one week, and then read your own records after one week. For the three cigarettes you need most every day, you should be very careful about what to replace them with.
