Natural Ways to quit Smoking

Candy and Gum. Sucking candy or chewing gum can occupy your mouth and time much the same as cigarettes. Even lollipops can help.

The flavor of the gum keeps the mouth fresh, making smoking less
attractive. The act of chewing relieves the desire for oral
stimulation and keeps the mouth busy.

The cool, tingly feeling of menthol or mint makes a smoker's mouth
feel fresh and clean, which tricks the brain into feeling less desire
for that hot intake of smoke.

Avoid triggers. Things you did while smoking or stress and other behaviors that encourage smoking. They vary per person. They can even be drinks such as coffee, alcohol or tea.
Deep Breathing. Some smokers while smoking inhaled deeply which promotes relaxation. Proper deep breathing as your stomach protrude on inhalation which allows the lungs to expand more and hold more air. Other breathing exercises.
Exercise. 30 minutes a day can prove helpful.

Decreases appetite, Eases nicotine withdrawal symptoms when you first
quit smoking, Distracts you from thoughts of smoking, Improves your mood,
Helps you cope with stress and feel more energetic

Others: Adequate Hydration, appropriate diet, adequate rest, etc.
