Ways to help you resist the urge to smoke or use tobacco when a tobacco craving strikes.

Here are some ways to help you resist the urge to smoke or use tobacco when a tobacco craving strikes.

1. Try nicotine replacement therapy. Ask your doctor about nicotine replacement therapy such as over-the-counter nicotine patches, gum and lozenges.
2. Chew on it. Give your mouth something to do to fight a tobacco craving. Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy, or munch on raw carrots, celery, nuts or sunflower seeds.
3. Get physical. Physical activity can help distract you from tobacco cravings and reduce their intensity. Even short bursts of physical activity can make a craving go away.
