Section 2: Making a Smoke-Free Life Permanent
Smoke-free life checklist
Use short questions to check where your new routine is getting stronger and where it still needs support.
Maintaining a smoke-free life isn't just about looking at the day that just passed. It also helps to review from time to time how well your new behaviors have settled in.
Ask yourself
- Can I describe myself as someone who "doesn't smoke"?
- Do I have a new behavior for strong triggers like coffee, after meals, or stress?
- Can I notice and question old thoughts like "smoking used to relax me"?
Check your routine
- Am I building a smoke-free routine in terms of sleep, movement, social life, and enjoyable activities?
- Do I accept that the thought "one won't hurt" can be risky for me?
Key takeaways
The checklist isn't for judging your success; it's for spotting the next area to strengthen.
