Whether under the shade of palm trees or under the canopy of the balcony, if you want to quit smoking right now, you have made the right choice!
Summer can be the best time to quit smoking, and for a variety of reasons.
In the summer we get out of the routine
In summer, habits change, the routine slowly goes away and we start a new rhythm. Our daily reflexes are likely to change and with them, the habit of lighting cigarettes. Mornings are later and thus, the habit of smoking does not feel as necessary as usual.
Even if you find it impossible to give up completely, you can at least switch to smoke-free alternatives, such as heated products. Heated products like IQOS do not burn, but heat the tobacco, emitting smoke. This avoids exposure to the 6,000 chemicals generated by the smoke, of which 100 have been proven to be harmful or potentially harmful.
Whatever change you choose to make, it is important to move on to a healthier habit, taking advantage of the out-of-routine that summer allows us.
Relaxation, the key to success
It is well known that summer is a time of relaxation when (almost) everything moves slowly. Consequences? Less pressure, less stress, less urgency and of course, less problems. Take advantage of this temporary calm to relax and release the pressure. Take care of yourself and rest: if you feel good in your body and mind, the lack of cigarettes will be less sensitive.
More ways to have fun
So far, you have associated pleasure with cigarettes. With summer and habit changes, you have the opportunity to learn to enjoy in another way. Take time for yourself, to do activities that you would not normally do due to lack of time or desire. Plan activities to get rid of as many cigarettes as you can think of: reading, walking, sports.
