The 4D's


What else can you do to stay smoke-free? 

DELAY

If you feel you are about to slip, tell yourself to wait ten more minutes. This delay tactic can get you past the strongest urge.

DRINK WATER

During a craving, drink cold water slowly.  It will change the feeling and taste in your mouth to reduce the craving.

DO SOMETHING

To relieve stress, stay busy. Take a walk, call a friend or your Quit Buddy, or read a magazine. Activity will distract you from the urge to smoke.

DEEP BREATH

Close your eyes and take a slow deep breath of fresh air. It will relax you.
