II. How to reduce your cigarettes by Counting and Pushing your borders

You are counting your cigarettes per day and you try to keep track of them with something as a tobacco diary.
You are trying to make a difference between avoidable and unavoidable cigarettes.

1.) You reduce your cigarettes per day by avoiding the avoidables and by smoking only the necessary ones. Of course this difference is an arbitrary one amd perhaps even a pitfall, but it may be helpful. 
You can do your best by monitoring your sucess per tobacco-diary.

 2.) You push your borders in the right direction by narrowing your smoking in the categories: time, space and special situations. So you try to smoke tomorrow in less time, fewer places and you will try to avoid most embarrassing situations as smoking in the kindergarden and the intensive care unit.
Would you name some of your own embarassing situations? I would be delighted to know more, You may write some in the commentary.

I wish you lots of sucess!
More soon.

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.
