How to Stop Smoking with Cigarette Filters

Quitting smoking is one of the most challenging things for a person to do. Fortunately, there are many smoking cessation products now on the market to help people fight the battle against cigarette addiction, and win. Cigarette filters are filters which attach to the built-in filter of your cigarettes, and reduce the amount of nicotine and tar that go into your lungs when you are smoking. While cigarette filters do not make smoking any safer or healthier, they can be an effective tool in weaning you off of your nicotine craving and help you to quit smoking.

  Replace the filter after every 5 to 7 cigarettes, according to the directions that are included with the pack of cigarette filters that you purchased.

  Slowly cut down your cigarette intake as you smoke with the filters. You will be getting less nicotine than you are used to because of the filters blocking properties, so slowly your body will become used to the smaller amount of nicotine and your cravings will begin to diminish.

  Substitute tea, candy or nuts for cigarettes when you have a craving for more nicotine. It is difficult but if you delay smoking another cigarette, your craving will pass.
