On Smokeout Day, What We Know About How to Quit - US News and World Report

From USNews:
On Smokeout Day, What We Know About How to Quit - US News and World Report: "Flip things around in your mind. When you have a craving, close your eyes and enjoy it. Yes, I said enjoy it. Let yourself feel the craving come over you and pass through you. Allow the craving to have its full force and relax through it with your eyes closed. Use the time that the craving hits to take a little mental break the same way you used to take a smoke break.

After you get through the very first craving remember it! Remember that you NEVER have to go through a craving that bad EVER AGAIN! No matter how they feel, each successive craving will actually be less. Remember that first horrible craving each time you think you want another cigarette and ask yourself if you want to go through that again? If you EVER pick up another cigarette you will have to do just that! This alone should keep most people from ever lighting another one up."
