Top Tips to Stop Smoking

• Address your psychological dependence. The brain has already linked certain routines with smoking. You must realise these daily triggers and change your response. Instead of reaching for a cigarette on a morning break, take a nice walk around the building. Replace after-meal cigarettes with a glass of water or favourite dessert.

Smoking cigarettes damages your body but it is reversible. Before giving in to a craving, remember that your heart and lungs are already healthier.
