For most tobacco users, the desire for tobacco or the urge to smoke can be strong. But you are not at the mercy of these desires.

If the urge to use tobacco comes in, keep in mind that although it can be bad, it will probably pass within five to 10 minutes if you smoke or do not smoke with immersion in chewing tobacco. Every time you resist the desire for tobacco, take a step closer to quitting tobacco forever.

Here are 10 ways to help you resist the urge to smoke or use tobacco if you have a #craving for tobacco.

 1. Try #nicotine replacement #therapy

Ask your doctor for nicotine replacement therapy. Options include:

Prescribe nicotine in a nasal spray or #inhaler

Over-the-counter nicotine patches, chewing gum and lozenges

Non-nicotine smoking cessation drugs such as bupropion (#Zyban) and varenicline (#Chantix)

Short-acting nicotine replacement therapies - such as nicotine gum, lozenges, nasal sprays or inhalers - can help you overcome your cravings. These short-acting therapies are usually safe for use in combination with a long-acting nicotine patch or one of the non-nicotine drugs.

Electronic cigarettes have recently gained a lot of attention as an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. However, more studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation and the long-term safety of these devices.

2. #Avoid triggers

The desire for tobacco is probably strongest in situations where you often smoke or discuss tobacco, such as parties or bars, or when you feel stressed or #drink #coffee. Identify your trigger situations and have a plan to prevent them completely or solve them without the use of tobacco.

Do not prepare to return to smoking. For example, if you usually smoke on the phone, keep a pencil and paper nearby to deal with scribbles instead of smoking.

3. Delay

If you feel you want to quit smoking, tell yourself that you must first wait 10 minutes - and then do something to distract you during this period. Try going to the public, non-smoking area. These simple tricks can be enough to make you lose your appetite for tobacco. 4. It's one

Give your mouth what to do to overcome the craving for tobacco. Sprinkle with sugar-free chewing gum or hard candy, or eat raw carrots, celery, nuts or sunflower seeds - something crunchy and satisfying.

5. Don't have "just one"

You may only need one cigarette to satisfy your craving for tobacco. But don't deceive yourself to believe that you can stop there. More often than not, you just have to lead one to the other - and you can use tobacco again.

6. Treat yourself to physical condition

Physical activity can help divert your attention from the desire for tobacco and reduce its intensity. Even a short burst of physical activity - such as walking and climbing stairs a few times - can reduce your appetite for tobacco. Go out for a walk or jog.

When sitting at home or in the office, try #squats, #deep knees, #pushing, #walking on the spot, or climbing stairs. If you are not interested in physical activity, try prayer, sewing, working with wood or journalism. Or perform distraction tasks, such as vacuuming or handing over papers.

7. Practice relaxation techniques

#Smoking can be your way of dealing with stress. Resisting the craving for #tobacco can be frustrating. Eliminate stress by practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, yoga, visualization, massage or listening to soothing music.

8. Call for reinforcements

Touch the base with a family member, friend, or support group and ask for help in your efforts to combat the desire for tobacco. Chat on the #phone, browse together, share jokes or get together and enjoy your dreams.

9. Go to #online support

Join the online #smoking cessation program. Or read an addict's blog and post inspirational ideas for someone who may be struggling with the desire for tobacco. Find out how others control their desire for tobacco.
