Personify your craving. Give him or her a name. Call it Mr. Nic if you wish.
Talk to it each time it visits you.
Say hello but don’t entertain him.
Say you are busy now and if he could come back later.
This delays the urge to light up.
In reality, a craving starts with a thought, then turns into an emotion.
This emotion is expressed through a sensation or physical trigger.
Hence the urge to smoke.
Practice giving Mr. Nic the cold shoulder.
Hopefully, he will get the message and give up on you!
