Smoking… It’s an addiction millions of americans deal with every day. And today, they’re encouraged to try and quit for at least 24-hours.

This year marks the 33rd year of the Great American Smoke Out. The event encourages people to quit smoking for a full 24 hours in hopes those hours will turn into long term commitments.

For those who need some encouragement, here on some tips. Start by removing all cigarette-materials from your house. That includes ashtrays, lighters, matches, and of course cigarettes.
   
Try changing up your routine. If you’re used to smoking during you’re morning cup of coffee, try another drink and see if the cravings leave. And they’re always nicotine patches, gums, and lozenges.

And if those cravings just don’t seem to leave, try the four D’s.

Take DEEP breaths, DO something else to get your mind off smoking, DRINK a lot of water throughout the day, and DELAY reaching for that cigarette… The craving will pass!
