World No Tobacco Day
31-05-2023
Brilliant idea! On May 31, World No Tobacco Day, all smoking Netherlands throws the last pack in the trash. The sun is shining and the terraces beckon. Are you in? Terraces smoke-free, new generation smoke-free, your home, your clothes, and your hair smoke-free. YOU smoke-free!
Being outside, breathing, freedom!
If you're not a fan of terrace life and prefer being in nature, then taking deep breaths and inhaling the scents is the best thing there is. It's much better when smoke-free. Make that decision, you'll be done with it in no time! Now is the moment!
Acupuncture helps
An acupuncturist can help you become a non-smoker. With acupuncture, you will feel calmer and more determined, and you will be better able to deal with any grumpy moods. This makes it easier for you to be smoke-free. Make an appointment! Enter your postcode in Find an acupuncturist and you will see practices near you.
Practical Tips
Avoid the moments where you used to automatically reach for your cigarettes as much as possible, drink less coffee to reduce restlessness, keep your hands busy, go into nature, take deep breaths, inhale the scents of the sea or forest. Drink water, wash your hands in difficult moments, take a shower, book a pampering day at the sauna. Fruit, especially vitamin C, is extra beneficial during this time.
Acupuncture for Challenging Moments
You can do even more to get through that initial period more smoothly. By massaging acupuncture points in the ear, you help yourself through the challenging moments. And it's just a matter of embracing a new habit. And you can do that!
