Here are some common triggers of smoking with effective alternate solutions to them…
After a meal
• Leave the table immediately after you have finished your meal.
• Go for a walk after a meal
• Indulge in a pleasurable activity, such as watching your favorite TV
show.
Drinking coffee
• Try changing your coffee mug, the place where you used to drink coffee and all that you did when you used to smoke while drinking coffee.
• Preferably, have your first cup of coffee at your office.
• Try drinking fruit juice or tea instead of coffee.
Talking on telephone
• When you are at home, use the telephone in a different room than before.
• Keep a small object near your telephone to keep your hands busy.
• Switch hands on the receiver. Make sure there are no cigarettes in reach of the telephone. Better yet, throw out all cigarettes so you won’t start hunting for them.
