For those who are trying hard to quit smoking but keep failing to achieve success, here are some steps to abide by that will be able to help with your concern sooner than later. Learn more about them, here.

First, you will have to enrich your mind about the side-effects that smoking or tobacco provides to your health and brain. Convince your mind that you are determined to quit for the sake of your health and to also ensure security to your family members' well-being. “If you decide to quit smoking, it’s a good idea to set a quit date and get prepared in advance so you have everything you need to make it a success,” said GP and media medic Dr Sarah Jarvi, reports BT.

Desires For Smoking

Secondly, whenever you feel like smoking, you need to observe your mind as trying to find the cause of this desire. Are you frustrated, hungry, depressed, angry or tensed?

Try to recognize your emotions as a witness, instead of getting identified with it. A long practice of this process will help you to uproot the habit of smoking.

Before going into other steps, please be warned to not adopt the electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette) or any other alternating elements. This will never help in quitting the habit and actually, because once you try to give up these alternatives, you will find no other option than to smoke again.

Food That Will Help You Quit

Apart from self-treating on the psychological basis, you can adopt some foods to stop smoking easily. According to The Hans India, milk can be a good option to quit smoking.

Researchers said that while alcohol and caffeine augment the flavor of cigarettes, drinking lots of milk will make it taste bitter.

You will never hear anyone smoking after a glass of milk. It is even better to drink milk whenever you are craving to smoke.

Apart from milk, fruits and dry fruits play an important role to quit smoking. Both are good for the health and it is suggested to keep munching until the craving to smoke subsides.

On the other hand, you can chew ginger, as it acts as a popular detoxifying agent. It also removes toxins from the body. You can take ginger whenever your mind starts to demand to smoke a cigarette.
