- Try short-acting nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine gum, lozenges, nasal sprays, or inhalers. These can help overcome intense cravings.
- Identify the trigger situation, which makes you smoke. Have a plan in place to avoid these or get through them alternatively.
- Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy, or munch raw carrots, celery, nuts or sunflower seeds instead of tobacco.
- Get physically active. Short bursts of physical activity such as running up and down the stairs a few times can make a tobacco craving go away.
