Smoking in the car

[EWALLER]

What is the best way to stop smoking in the car. That is the hardest time for me not to smoke. I get in the car and feel like i have to have one.

@EWALLER How about straws, gum, water, licorice or singing really loud?

I used real cinnamon sticks and pretended to smoke them.

@EWALLER   That can be a challenge for many.   I was fortunate to stop smoking in my car several cars prior to my quit.  

Eliminate anything smoking related to smoking--ash trays, lighters.

Clean your car to get the smell out.  

Stock up on healthy stacks.  Even though I had quit smoking in my car, I kept Sour Patch Kids, straws to chew on, and something to read.  I was used to smoking when I reached my destination, so if was early I would read instead.

Change your routine. Sing to music, take a different route, etc.

Are you planning are quitting soon?

I like the cinnamon Sticks. I will have to try that. Thank you! 

[EWALLER]

Thank you! I am getting my car detailed soon to try and get rid of the smell. I do however need to get rid of the lighters. 

I am. I have stopped twice in the last year and went a couple of months doing it cold Turkey and the slightest inconvenience i started back and made excuses.

@EWALLER I chewed "Big Red" cinnamon gum and brought water to sip on did deep breathing. Work your way into it with a few short trips to get used to not lighting up everytime you get in the car. Finally, Tell yourself "NOPE" (NOT ONE PUFF EVER!)

@EWALLER Take the "Daily Pledge" and pledge not to smoke in your car each day.😃
