How do colleagues who quit smoking smoke in front of you every day to prevent relapse?

You should have self-control and rely on perseverance. Friends must hold back their cigarettes and say they can't smoke the first cigarette. Less contact with smokers and more exercise.

The essence of tobacco dependence, like hypertension and diabetes, is a chronic disease, and recurrence is also a common phenomenon. Some tobacco control experts have summarized three major risk factors of relapse: emotional state, including positive emotions and negative emotions. Interpersonal relationship, current or recent interpersonal problems. Social environment, social pressure or seeing others smoking.

How to avoid recurrence? In addition to trying to avoid the above three risk factors, we will also master some ways to overcome the urge to smoke.

How to overcome addiction: Experts point out that the concepts of occasional smoking and relapse are different. Occasional smoking refers to occasional smoking, and relapse refers to returning to the previous smoking state, which is a process rather than an event. Occasional smoking is also related to many factors, such as emotional changes, including positive and negative emotions, as well as alcohol, coffee, tea, or the role of others in handing cigarettes. In the first three months of quitting smoking, occasional smoking is common, and relapse mostly occurs a few days before quitting smoking.

The occurrence of relapse is generally caused by smoking at first. After that, smokers occasionally smoke, and if preventive measures are not taken, they may continue to develop into relapse. Therefore, to prevent recurrence, we must first find the trigger. In the early stage of quitting smoking, we should try to avoid contact with known high-risk situations that are easy to trigger smoking desire, and then gradually contact people or places related to smoking in the past, and prepare a response plan. Smokers should know that the onset of addiction is only a short time. At this time, they should recall the reasons for quitting smoking and remember not to smoke again after quitting smoking. Using some distracting methods will also make an addiction pass quickly. In this process, you can take a deep breath, drink plenty of water and eat sugar-free gum.

Occasionally inhaling will be the beginning of relapse.

Smokers also need to be prepared for occasional smoking. The attitude and practice of double inhalation are closely related to recurrence, and timely response to double inhalation is helpful to prevent subsequent recurrence. Some people will think "I can just smoke one" after quitting smoking. This is a common but particularly dangerous idea. Because smoking addiction is essentially a chronic encephalopathy, the pleasant experience of smoking brought by nicotine can stay in the brain for a long time. Even smoking only one cigarette can remind smokers of the pleasant feeling of smoking before, and then they want to smoke another cigarette, which is often the beginning of relapse.

Smokers can do something else when they want to smoke a cigarette, and avoid smoking this cigarette by diverting their attention.
