Smokers sometimes use their habit to give themselves short breaks throughout the day. Taking a break is good for you, so keep taking that time off, but do something different. Take a walk around the block, have a cup of tea or a drink of water, or do some of the techniques in this program. In fact, if possible, drink a lot of fruit juice. When you quit smoking your body goes through a big change. Blood sugar levels tend to drop, digestion slows, and your body begins to expel the tar and poisons that have built up. Fresh fruit juice contains fructose to restore blood sugar levels, vitamin C to help flush out impurities, and high levels of water and fiber to support digestion. Also try to eat fruit every day for at least two weeks after you stop.
Also, when you quit, cut your caffeine intake in half. Nicotine breaks down caffeine, so without nicotine, a little coffee will go a long way. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water (ideally bottled) to help flush your system.

Nicotine just stresses your body more and is like that itch that you can never scratch properly; the more you smoke, the more you have to. So say “STOP” and stay off those old slippery slopes.
