37 Things to Do Instead of Smoking Cigarettes

Trying to quit smoking is extremely difficult. One of the physiological changes that nicotine does to your body is stimulate your brain to release the dopamine hormone. Dopamine makes you feel relief, calmness, and just otherwise good. When you stop smoking cigarettes, one of the reasons a lot of people fail in the attempt is failing to stimulate their body in other ways to “feel good”. Exercise is a common activity for those who have been successful kicking the habit because it also releases dopamine into your body! Other reasons that people give for failing in their attempts with quitting are: boredom, finding activities to fill the time previous spent smoking, and so forth. The following are 37 things you can do instead of smoking listed in no particular order. If you have any to add, please do so in the comments.
