无烟生活

When you quit smoking, you may feel like you've lost some of the pleasure in life. But that doesn't have to be the case. When you stop smoking, your senses of taste 和 smell start to come back to life. So does your feeling of being in direct contact with the world, without a smoke screen to hide behind. 作为一个不吸烟的人, you can go so many places 和 enjoy so many experiences that were off limits to you as a smoker. Now you can watch a movie in a theater without wanting to jump up 和 go outside for a smoke. You can take that long trip now, without the discomfort of being unable to smoke on the plane, 火车或公共汽车. And like many other things, it gets easier to do all of these things with time.

Keep a list of pleasurable activities you can do when you feel urges during your transition phase.

Here are some ideas to get you started (or come up with your own):
