Cold turkey isn't a food route to quitting. Far from it. It involves a sudden abrupt stop in smoking or vaping and trying to manage the withdrawal symptoms without help. Some people can quit this way. If you are considering this we can give you some tips. Healthline talks a lot about the habit forming part of smoking. You are probably aware of the times of the day you are most vulnerable to wanting to smoke. This might be when drinking alcohol, at breakfast, when you take a break at work or when you drink tea or coffee. The habit to smoke is due to associations in the brain. You can help this by distracting your mind onto something else at this time. Chewing gum, playing an intense online game, eating a healthy snack bar. Anything that creates a new routine to break the old associations. Cold Turkey is brave and not for everyone.
