When Do You Smoke?

Some people find it helpful to keep track of how many cigarettes they smoke each day, and when they smoke them. Try this for a few days: each time you’re about to smoke, take 10 seconds to write down what time it is and why you are smoking (for example: 9:00 am, smoked 1 cigarette with coffee). You might already know that you always smoke after eating, for example, but may not realize that you always have a cigarette as soon as you step out of the house or leave work. Noticing patterns can help you decide how to change these patterns, and how to come up with things to do instead of smoking at these particular times.
