Been exposed to asbestos? Exercise or a nicotine patch can help you quit smoking

Fight the smoking habit with exercise or a nicotine patch. And know that contact with asbestos increases a smoker’s risk of lung cancer.

Notice what triggers cravings. Alcohol, coffee, and stress can make you feel like smoking – so can seeing other people smoking.

Consider using medications. The nicotine patch or gum, and medications can double your chance of success.

Help yourself cope. Drink a lot of water to help with cravings. Exercise to relieve stress.

Get your mind off smoking. Get busy with a simple task, talk to a friend or take a walk. Avoid places and situations you associate with smoking.

Stay away from that first cigarette! Having even one can make you start back up. Cravings will lessen the longer you resist them.

If you’ve been exposed to asbestos, your risk of lung cancer is already higher. Thus, it is all the more important for you to quit smoking.
