  Heal yourself physically. Many people have to heal themselves physically after they have decided to quit smoking, because they have probably gained weight and they have definitely damaged their lungs.

It is recommended that you contact your doctor if you need help with physical recuperation after you have quit smoking.

  Encourage others to quit smoking. After you quit and you have started the steps necessary to healing yourself, it can be really helpful to help other people you know to quit smoking.

It is recommended that you try to help someone and take them by your side in order to be guidance to them.

  Eat a well balanced diet after you quit. Eating a well balanced diet is very advantageous especially to people who have chronic diseases and for those who are overweight. Eating a well balanced meal each day can help your body create healthy cells in effort to replace some of the ones damaged by cigarette smoke. Eating a well balanced diet is also recommended because it helps your cravings decrease by an average of 10% percent (eating helps you think less about smoking).

  Exercise regularly after quitting. Routine exercise can have many positive advantages. Did you know that routine exercise can help you get your lungs into shape after you quit smoking? Exercise already has its cardiopulmonary advantages but it has an especially big advantage on those who have recently quit smoking, because it helps the lungs repair the cells that have not been severely damaged by cigarette smoke. It is recommended that you exercise at least 3 or 4 times per week so that you have a chance to heal your lungs after you quit smoking.
