It’s amazing what changes when you quit tobacco. Your breath smells better, food tastes better. You have extra time in your day. You’re loving this new tobacco-free lifestyle, and you’re motivated to keep it going.

However, there is only one issue: cravings. They strike when you least expect them, and if you’re going to stay tobacco-free, you need to get cravings under control.

The key is to do something that keeps your mind engaged. Take a walk. Play a game. Listen to music. Cravings only last a few minutes, so finding a quick distraction can help you outlast the urge.

Chapter 3: Sharing Success

You’re proud of your tobacco-free journey. Breathing feels easier. Plus, that walk you just took? Everything feels easier, and you’re proud of your decision to quit.

You’ve changed your life – and the lives of others. Inspired by your success, your friends are ready to quit too. You let them know how good it feels to be tobacco free and that if they need support, the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline is there. No matter where you are in your tobacco-free story, you can count on the Helpline for support.
