Choose Your Favourite Snack
When a person stops smoking, their appetite increases noticeably. Find a healthy and delicious snack that you enjoy and keep it with you at all times. Whenever you feel the urge to smoke, indulge and wait for the craving to pass.
Observe Your Food And Drink Patterns
Cigarettes taste better with certain foods, such as meats and refined carbohydrates, as well as beverages such as alcohol, colas, tea, and coffee. On the contrary, cheese, vegetables, and fruits have a terrible aftertaste when combined with smoking. Eating more of these and less of everything that goes with smoking will help you stay healthy as a nonsmoker.

Strategies to Reduce Craving
A craving usually lasts no longer than five minutes. Make a list of things you could do in those awful five minutes when all you want is a cigarette. To take your mind off smoking, go for a short walk, take a quick shower, listen to music, or read.
Talk To Your Doctor
Tobacco use is an addiction. If you have a history of smoking, it is best to consult with your doctor about withdrawal symptoms and how to manage them. There are numerous medications, support groups, and counselling centres available to help smokers quit.
