Smoking Ban 1st July 2007

It's the first of july 2007, and from today smokers will no longer be able to smoke in public places in England.

So now you'll have to find somewhere else to light up. It can prove to be a struggle for some who tend to smoke almost twice as many cigarettes a day when they go out on the town and those who work in or near public places.

So my suggestion to you is to find out the kind of things that make you smoke when you are in a public place and either break the association or establish new routines that don't involve cigarettes and smoking.

This will work well for you if you are trying to stop smoking and if you just want to cut down or prevent cravings and reminders when you are in public. The worst thing you can do by far is complain about it and constantly focus your mind on cigarettes - you always want the one thing you can't have. So talking about cigarettes will only make it worse for you.
