Vary Your Nicotine Intake

Home » Smoking Cessation » Getting Started » Vary Your Nicotine Intake

Some professionals also, inexplicably, suggest that you try to vary the times when you smoke, as a means to breaking the addiction. For instance, if you smoke a cigarette right after a meal, stop doing so; smoke your cigarette a little while later. Likewise, if you smoke first thing in the morning, try to wait an hour before you have your first cigarette.

While I can sort of see the reasoning behind this approach -- it allows you to get out of your rut, and break a lifelong habit of smoking a cigarette at a certain time of the day -- it doesn't really seem to make sense in the long run. Rather, it seems like your just trading one time of the day for another, and before you know it, you've created yourself another habit. Varying nicotine intake, however, might work in conjunction with some of the other methods discussed.
