Once you decide to quit smoking, you should stick to this resolution, how much ever hard you might find. Support of friends and self control are the main weapons. However, if you feel like smoking, you should do deep breathing. Inhale air to the maximum level, and then exhale it slowly. This will help you release all your stress and tension thereby relaxing you. Don’t give in to the urge, overcome it and be victorious. During the first few days of quitting, you should consume plenty of water and fluids so as to flush out any nicotine or toxin which might be there in your body. Drinking water is anyways a healthy habit. Also, in the first 3 to 4 days, you need to ensure that your sugar levels are slightly higher than normal by drinking plenty of juice.
