Your coffee break, without the cigarette.

Recognize the pairing.

Smokefree.gov identifies coffee as a possible smoking cue. If the two have become linked in your day, prepare an alternative before the next cup.

Try a small experiment.

Have your coffee in a different place. Put a glass of water next to it. Invite someone who supports your goal to join you. Choose one experiment so you can notice what works for you.

Keep the break; rethink the action.

If it is the action you miss, consider gum or something to occupy your hands. Our habit guide also explains the core Cigtrus inhaler for adults interested in a familiar nicotine-free hand-to-mouth experience.

If nicotine cravings persist, get support.

Changing a coffee routine does not treat nicotine dependence. Ask a healthcare professional or quitline about established quit-smoking support.
