• Stay Busy

Keeping busy can help distract you from cravings. Consider simple strategies such as:

* Going for a short walk

* Calling a friend or family member

* Drinking a glass of water

* Completing a quick task or activity

Creating a list of 5-minute activities can help when cravings arise.

• Get Active

Physical activity may help manage stress and support overall health while quitting. Activities such as walking, running, swimming or cycling may help improve lung function and overall wellbeing over time.

• Eat Well

Sometimes cigarette cravings can feel similar to hunger. Maintaining regular meals and keeping healthy snacks such as fruit and vegetables available may help manage cravings.
