Here are 5 natural and effective ways to quit smoking

It is no secret that withdrawing from smoking cigarettes or the like is a very hard nut to crack. Many people have fallen out from the journey to quit smoking as it takes so much courage, perseverance, and discipline which most people don't have.

Sometimes it could be that the techniques you are using aren't working and you feel frustrated or it could be that you can't keep up with it anymore as the cravings to smoke are more than your willpower.

Below are 5 natural ways that could help you quit smoking without having to do too much. These ways are science-backed and can help you on your journey to quit smoking.

Here we go!!

1. Relish on your "why" every day.

Before your journey to quit smoking cigarettes, there must be a reason you are quitting. It could be to save money, improve your health, or start a new family. Whatever the reason, you have to relish and ponder on it every single day as this will serve as a motivation for you to be determined on your journey. To make this easy, you can make a list of reasons why you have to quit smoking on paper and put it where you can see it every day.



2. Chew on raw carrots, veggies, or sugar-free gum

It is very normal for you to get cravings to smoke now and then. That is where carrots, veggies, and chewing gums become your friend. Chewing on raw carrots whenever you have cravings to smoke can prevent you from getting a relapse. If you are not a fan of carrots, you can try out crunchy vegetables like cabbage and celery. Or better still, you can chew on gums but they have to be sugar-free to avoid health complications.


3. Don't miss out on a daily vitamin C intake.

Do you know that smoking cigarettes reduce the level of vitamin C that should be absorbed in your body? This phenomenon heightens the urge to smoke cigarettes, as low Vitamin C equals an increased urge to smoke. The reason you must ingest vitamin C daily is that it helps to reduce smoking cravings and also helps to boost your immune system which must have been weakened by smoking. Lime juice can be your staple source of vitamin C.

4. Exercising in nature could be the way.

Exercise has been proven to help different ailments and "trying to quit smoking" is not left out. Moderate running, swimming, jogging, and walking in nature can help tame the craving to smoke. Whenever you feel the urge, going out to take a walk in nature could help by giving you a positive mindset and increasing your motivation

5. Be fully armored

Whatever controls your smoking cravings should be fully stocked in your fridge. Is it chewing gums? Always keep it handy wherever you go. You don't want a situation when you get the urge and you don't have anything to calm nibble or chew on.

Takeaway

In as much as quitting cigarette smoking is very hard, indulging in one or a combination of two or more of these ways can make your journey easy.

Say no to smoking as it damages your lungs and makes you liable to die young.

It’s an habit. Most times, it’s easier to replace an habit than to stop it.

So, focus on alternative ways to stop smoking.

One can reduce it by avoiding friends or gathering of where they smokes. I’m not talking about cigarettes geee 😂 I’m talking about Canada or ordinary loud. The smell alone can make you to forget all this you wrote above 😂😂😂

It’s simply very hard to stop except you don’t have any means to get it again. Which is very strange.

Alright Sir, thank you for your incoherent contribution, it wasn't really needed.

What about alcoholic drinks?
