I. How can you cope better with tobacco?

1.) Count Your Cigarettes!

The most important keynumber for your tobacco dependence is the number of smoked cigarettes per day.

To find this out, it is useful to write a Tobacco-Diary. Thus you can get an overview over your smoking habits.

2. ) Write a Tobacco Diary or a Gusto Diary

Before You smoke a cigarette, try to write down: time, situation and people present. This is enough information to find out your smoking patterns. With these patterns in mind you can work out counter strategies.

A more elaborate version is the Gusto Diary, in which you include every single urge to smoke.

You write down every gusto to smoke, and so you can differentiate between necessary cigarettes and avoidable cigarettes.

3.) You avoid the avoidable cigarettes and you smoke only the necsessary ones.

Next time I will write about, how to choose strategies for avoiding avoidable cigarettes.

Please, give me your comment. I need  feed back to optimize this blog.

Have fun and be successful!

More very, soon.
