I have listed below some tested tips and steps that can help you get rid of this habit, gradually and naturally

STEP 1: KNOW WHY YOU SMOKE

Before you plan to quit, know why you feel the need to smoke in the first place. There can be several smoking triggers that can vary from person to person. For you, can it be Stress? Boredom? Or the urge you feel after meals, or the itch to flick on when you are having a break.

Understanding your smoking trigger is the first and foremost step to breaking this cycle. Once you figure out when and why you smoke, it will be easier for you to replace this habit with something healthier.

Step 2: REPLACE THE HABIT, DON’T JUST QUIT

Let’s be honest, you are not just giving up nicotine, you are also getting out of your comfort zone. So, replace it with the things that make you feel good or satisfying.

Here are some alternatives that may work for you

• Snack on something crunchy: Cucumbers, Raw carrots, or popcorn (no chips)
• Take short walks: Fresh air walks help release tension- Even 5 5-minute walk helps
• Keep your hands busy: Fidget toys, knitting, or journaling
• Herbal tea: Peppermint, chamomile, or licorice root can help satisfy cravings
• deep breathing exercises: Inhale and hold for 4 secs, exhale for 6

STEP 3: ENGAGE IN MINDFUL AWARENESS AND MEDITATION

Trying to quit smoking feels like your mind is turning into an arena of chaos and struggle. That’s where meditation takes over. Not the sit-cross-legged-for-hours kind, just a few deep breaths. That’s all it takes to start.

Here are some practices that you can try

• Box breathing: Inhale, hold, exhale, hold—each for 4 seconds
• Mindful observation: Pause and have a look at your surroundings, naming five things you see or hear
• Guided meditation apps like Headspace or Insight Timer

• What triggered it again?
• What small step can I take to get away with this right now?
• How do I handle this situation next time?

Then get yourself back on track and keep going
