6. Clean house and accompany the freshness in your breathing with a freshness in your clothes and your surroundings.
7. Chewing gum has been known to help so buy some sugar-free gum to tide you over those tricky moments.

9. Hang out with friends who don’t smoke and who will encourage you in your new choice of lifestyle.
