- Prepare healthy snacks in the morning to have them ready throughout the day.
- Chew sugar-free gum.
- Discover a new activity, such as completing crossword puzzles.
- Take public transportation or ride with a friend, if you associate driving your car with smoking.
- Take deep breaths to help you relax.
