Triggers are a form of conditioned response. If you’re used to smoking a cigarette during a coffee break, for example, you begin to link even the smell of coffee with smoking.
You’ll need to outsmart your triggers before they strike. Change your routines to break your most powerful triggers.
If driving is a trigger, for instance, practice driving short distances without smoking. If coffee brings on a craving, try to take a coffee break without one, or switch to a different drink or coffee shop.
