GOOD FOR YOU! I haven’t smoked tobacco in a long time, I used to smoke Camel Filters or Indian Spirit Red Sage in a tobacco pipe. You can do it, and here is 2 tips: the first is simply don’t buy it- even if you find yourself bumming a cigarette from a bud, when after the 3rd or 4th you haven’t got one to repay, they’ll stop giving them to you. 2nd, BIG TIP-> wear a large rubber band on your wrist, when you find yourself thinking about smoking (after coffee, after a meal, whatever) pop yourself gently. I said gently. You are not trying to “punish” yourself for thinking about it, rather you are altering your attention with a different stimulus, it doesn’t have to be painful, it has to be attention getting, which doesn’t take that much force.
The last tip, if you fail all else and MUST get an oral fix, buy cinnamon sticks and put that in your mouth for awhile, it too will change your brains expectation. Hope it helps!
