Stop Smoking Now---We Can Help
In almost every US city and town,there are local organizations to help people to stop smoking.One of the most popular and successful is California Smokers'Helpline.Here is a page from one of their leaflets.
When you really want a cigarette---try the three DS:
1.Delay:Look at your watch and wait for a couple of minutes.If you can wait two minutes,you won't want to smoke.
2.Drink something:If you drink water or some other drinks,you'll reduce the need to have something in your mouth
3.Deep breathing:Breathe in slowly and deeply.Count to five when your lungs are full.Then breathe out slowly.Repeat several rimes.
And here are some ideas from Florida Anti-smoking Club to help people to give up smoking:
1.Make a plan:Make a list of friends who smoke and places you smoke.Don't see those people and don't go to those places!
2.Keep busy:Instead of smoking,make a phone call,take a short walk,talk with a friend.
3.Develop new interests:Exercise-walking,biking,jogging,swimming,or taking a gymnastic class-helps you to forget about cigarettes.
It is now against the law for anyone who smoke anywhere at any time in our schools.So set a date and act at once to give up smoking for your own good.
