Alcohol and social events

..Alcohol could weaken your resolve to stop smoking and stay stopped.  Most smokers associate a drink with a smoke so consider changing your drink or cutting down on the amount of alcohol you drink, especially during the first few weeks. 

Swap hands if you used to smoke with one particular hand and hold your drink in that hand instead. 

Use your common sense about going to pubs after you quit.  You may be able to cope in week 3 but it’s probably a bad idea to go to a wild party on day 1!
