Switch brands to one you find distasteful

Set a daily quota and reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke
each day
Postpone your cigarette until you can go all day without one
Smoke only in uncomfortable places
Spend time where smoking is prohibited

Future of Smoking
Health care workers have become extremely active in
publicizing the negative effects of smoking. In fact, health
care workers have been instrumental in passing various
legislation to limit smoking in public; as a result, the
proportion of people in the US who smoke has dropped
from 40.4% in 1965 to around 19% in 2010 (data from the
US Department of Health)
According to the American Cancer Society, the majority of
cigarette use begins before a person reaches 18 years of age.
Those who do not begin smoking by age 18 generally do not
start to smoke later in life. Various celebrities and activist groups
actively promote campaigns aimed at a teen audience that
educate about the consequences of smoking and offer advice on
smoking cessation and prevention.

current cigarette smokers - 19% of adults aged 18 years
and over 21% were former smokers, and 60% had never
smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Twenty-one
percent of men were current smokers compared with 18%
of women
Will technological innovations in telephony or web based
applications increase programme effectiveness? Future
research should test improvements in this programme,
including the opportunity for integration with existing
programmes (especially Quitlines and nicotine replacement
therapy provision) and use of newer multimedia phones,
which offer further opportunities for provision of quit
information and distraction activities.
