When someone tells us we can't have something, psychologically we want it more.  This has been a problem for some individuals who have tried to quit smoking "cold turkey".  The purpose of these Quit Smoking Rules is to let you feel the freedom of being able to smoke if you need to, but to also make it inconvenient and a conscious decision to smoke.  This will help to break the subconscious habit.

Do not make the mistake of thinking any of these rules are too simple, not needed, unimportant, or unnecessary for you.  Be faithful and follow them all.

The Rules:

1. Smoke as much as you NEED to.  The key word is NEED.  In other words, cigarettes are to be used medicinally.  Do not smoke for pleasure or enjoyment anymore,.  Only smoke to help curb nicotine fits and only smoke as much as is needed.  If one puff is all you need that is all you do; if you need a whole cigarette that is okay.  But be honest with yourself and only use what you need.  Nicotine patches are okay to use if you prefer.

2. Change cigarette brands.  Use a brand that tastes completely different from your brand of choice and preferably one you don't enjoy.  For example, if you smoke ultra filtered slims, switch to something like Merit non-filter.

3. Reuse partially used cigarettes.  Since smoking is only medicinal, if a cigarette is only partially used, save the unused portion for the next time you need to smoke and do so until it is completely used.

4. Keep you cigarettes in an out of the way place.  They should not be convenient to get to.  Keep them in a location where you consciously have to get up and make an effort to get them.  For example, in the basement on top of the freezer which requires a chair to retrieve them.

5. You cannot smoke with a roof over your head.  The exception is an umbrella if it is raining.  The only place you can smoke is outside away from the action.  This also includes the car since your car has a roof.

6. Use the "specific" method of holding the cigarette.   You must use two hands and four fingers to hold the cigarette - both index fingers and thumbs.

7. Reward success.  Don't fall into the trap of thinking you have failed if you have to smoke one or two cigarettes a day.  If you have gone from smoking 2-3 packs a day, 1-2 cigarettes is a tremendous success.  Be patient and continue working toward your goal.
