Your father's hypertension has a lot to do with smoking. So besides some anti-stress drugs, you must quit smoking, which can prevent some diseases, such as three highs, lung cancer and cirrhosis.
In fact, most people who really want to quit smoking can quit smoking by themselves. The following step-by-step smoking cessation process has proved to be effective. Thousands of people have implemented this method and have given up smoking.
Step 1: Analyze your smoking habits. Record every cigarette you smoke in a 24-hour period and the time when you almost light it automatically (for example, light a cigarette every time you finish a cup of coffee, and be sure to light a cigarette after a meal or before starting a day's work). Take two or three weeks to study when and why you need to smoke, so that you can pay attention to every cigarette you smoke. This will make you pay more and more attention to your smoking behavior and help you prepare to quit smoking.
Step 2: Make up your mind and never look back. Write down the reasons why you want to quit smoking, including the benefits after quitting smoking. For example, after quitting smoking, the taste will get better when eating, and I will stop coughing in the morning. Before you really take action, you should convince yourself that quitting smoking is worth a try.
Step 3: Circle a day on the calendar and quit smoking completely on this day. This is the most successful way and the least painful way to get rid of the bad habit of smoking. If family members or close friends can quit smoking with you at the same time, it is very beneficial to quit smoking by supporting each other in the most difficult days before the cessation period. You can also choose to quit smoking when you change your daily life for other reasons (such as on vacation). Some smokers find it helpful to announce to everyone that they want to quit smoking in the storm in the teacup. If you don't give in when your will is weak, it may be something to be proud of.
Step 4: In the initial difficult period of quitting smoking, you can replace cigarettes with anything. Chewing gum is very helpful. If you feel empty without cigarettes between your fingers, use a pencil or pen. In addition, you might as well do more deep breathing and abdominal exercises to relieve the tension that cigarettes seem to eliminate for you. Giving up (at least temporarily) some of your smoking-related activities will also help you quit smoking. For example, if you habitually light a cigarette while drinking in a bar near your home, don't go to the bar for the time being. Avoid situations that encourage smoking. For example, when traveling by train, bus or plane, it is also helpful to sit in the non-smoking section.
Step 5: You should enjoy the happiness of not smoking! Don't forget, if you don't smoke, you can save more than ten dollars a week. You can save the money you spend on cigarettes and buy something you can't afford as a reward.
Step 6: Eat as many low-calorie foods and drinks as possible in the weeks before quitting smoking. Your appetite will almost certainly get better. When you feel nervous and uneasy (the natural result of quitting an addictive habit), you are often forced to find something to chew. Gum is a good choice. Remember, the first four weeks of quitting smoking are the most difficult. After about eight weeks, your strong desire for cigarettes will disappear and you will gradually quit.
