KEY SIX

A smoking replacement can take many forms. It may be pencil for your hand to play with, or a toothpick to keep your mouth busy. It may be hard candy, or celery sticks. You must plan which items you are going to use and have them ready when the magic quit day arrives. Today there are many pharmaceutical assistants in the area of smoking replacements. The Nicotine patch is very popular, and I used that myself when I quit two and half years ago. It reduced the withdrawal symptoms to minimum and allowed me to deal with the psychological addition directly. I found it a most helpful aid. Others will find that they prefer other things like hypnosis. My best friend Jim and his wife Tammy quit that way a few months ago. As is always the case, it is best to plan in advance before you need the items, when your head is clear. |
