Here are some ideas to up your chances to successfully quit smoking for your health and the health of your children:
1) Consider that your child's health is being effected by the second hand smoke you are exposing them to. I am a first hand example of this, as I suffer from aasthma and broncitis even though I never haave smoked. My mother had a pack a day addiction when I was a child. I am happy to say she has been smoke free for over ten years.
2)Get up and walk after a meal instead of having that cigarette
3) Hold something in your hand like a straw, a pencil or my favorite one of those hard candy sticks.
4) Make sure if you are going out to a restaurant or bar that it is smoke free.
5) Spend more time with your non smoking friends while you are still in the early stages of quitting.
