Hands:

To take the place of holding a cigarette or e-cigarette, try holding one of these:

•  A paper clip

•  A hand grip or stress ball

•  A rubber band

•  A hair tie

•  A pen or pencil

 

Mouth:

These can be placed in your mouth instead of tobacco:

•  Toothpicks

•  Coffee stirrers or cocktail twisters

•  Sugarless gum or candy

•  Sugarless breath mints

•  Cinnamon sticks

•  Crunchy vegetables (e.g. carrots or celery sticks)

 

Mind:

Make use of the gaps of time when you used to use tobacco. You might:

•  Play cards

•  Sketch an idea or make a list

•  Do yard work

•  Crochet or learn a new skill that uses your hands

•  Stretch or exercise

•  Write a letter or send an email

•  Read

•  Learn the words to a new song—or how to play it on an instrument

•  Wash and wax your car or motorcycle
