Do you have any ways to prevent smoking habits?

I don't think I need to tell you that smoking is a habit as well as an addiciton! But in my oppinion smoking is about eighty percent habit and twenty percent addiction. So I think it's pretty important for you to find ways to prevent smoking habits.


Think about the cigarettes you have had today, the ones you had yesterday and the ones you've smoked over the last week. How many of them come at the same time of the day, every day?

If you take a few minutes to think about your daily routines, it's certain that cigarettes play a key role in your habits. I mean do you have a cigarette 1st thing in the morning as soon as you roll out of bed, or when you put the kettle on or when you walk out the door to work?

What about in the car, as soon as you get off the bus, tube or train before walking in the office door?

Then there are break times, the after meal cigarette, stress reducing and 'head-clearing' cigarettes you have. These are a very, very small selection of the smoking habits you have.

When you stop smoking, these times, events, places, people and emotions will remind you to smoke. And if you don't find at least a few ways to prevent smoking habits you're going to face a difficult time!

The first thing to do is find out each and every single one of your smoking habits. So write them all down - each cigarette you smoke has a reason for it. You either needed it or you smoked it to resolve a problem.

The best way to pevent your smoking habits is then to either resolve the problem, find a new solution to replace the cigarette or break the link all together.

What you need to do is break and prevent your smoking habits so that no time, place, feeling, problem or event makes you smoke again. Once you've done that my friend, you will be well on your way to stopping smoking and the very importantly - staying stopped!
