The four important strategies for resisting tobacco are as follows:
1. Always have something to chew on and drink plenty of liquids.
2. Exercise more frequently. Doing exercise everyday decreases the relapse episodes. Less stress, less urge to smoke.
3. Practice Relaxation Techniques. Stress is usually the main urge why people smoke. So to lessen the urge, find some ways to relax.
4. Get support. People around you should know that you are resisting tobacco use. They can help you by reminding you, and let them avoid smoking around you too. Also, remove everything around you that urges you to smoke.
