exercise support

Conquer your cravings and boost your quit journey with the power of exercise. Physical activity is a proven tool for managing nicotine withdrawal, offering a distraction and releasing endorphins to combat stress and anxiety. Even short bursts of exercise, like a 5-minute walk, can significantly reduce cravings and improve your mood.  For a more detailed guide on how exercise supports your quit, including strategies for staying motivated and information on a free 7-day gym pass, download our comprehensive document.

breathing exercises

Manage stress and cravings with deep breathing. It's a healthy way to calm anxiety, unlike cigarettes. Practice by inhaling through your nose, feeling your belly expand, and exhaling through pursed lips. Download our guide for details.
