Prepare for your cravings

Identify your triggers. I myself loved a cigarette in the morning with a cup of coffee. Then again, after meals. There are many different activities in which you just naturally look for your cigarette without even thinking about it. Activities, foods, and times all carry with them a sort of psychological trigger for a craving. If you can plan for these cravings by having some gum available or anything that you feel might fill in that cigarette craving, you'll do much better with your quitting process.

Avoid smokers

Spend some time away from your smoking friends and family as is possible. When everybody is smoking, this makes it especially difficult to quit. Be ready in these situations with healthy carrot sticks or even unhealthy candies. Candy is far more easy to give up than cigarettes. I know that weight gain is a concern among smokers, but keep in mind that when you quit smoking, you'll have more energy to exercise and feel better in general.
