"You know, smoking is one of the most difficult habits to break. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what we're going to talk about is how to quit smoking cold turkey. Whenever you make the decision to quit smoking, cold turkey is probably the fastest and easiest way that will provide benefits to your health. When you make the decision to cut down on smoking first, you only prolong the process of quitting smoking. You must prepare yourself that it's going to take a two to three week process to get over the urge of nicotine and tobacco. You could change your routine, plan a vacation, or change your lifestyle for a two to three week process. That will eliminate those times when you feel the urge to smoke. Those times when you have that morning cup of coffee or after a meal could be times when you take the full benefit of going out for a brisk walk or exercise. Instead of drinking alcohol, which sometimes goes hand in hand with tobacco use or cigarette use, you could also take the positive benefits of quitting alcohol at the same time; again, changing your routine and your lifestyle. Instead of TV watching, try reading a book, try exercise, try going for a walk, and let friends and family know that you're genuinely going to try to quit smoking cold turkey. They could also be a big benefit and help in this process. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe, and we'll see ya' next time."
