Smoking triggers can be avoided by drafting a well laid out plan for each and every situation that creates an urge for smoking.  First of all make a list of your triggers so that you know them in advance. Once you know the situation that triggers smoking you can have a better control over them. There are many common activities and events which act as a trigger and they can be dealt with various different options. Between your breaks either move on to your project or get involved in some other activities, while talking on phone move to some different room and handle some small objects located nearby, after an argument take a brisk walk around your building and similarly in car either remove the ashtray or fill it with papers giving you reasons not to smoke. Moreover you can also avoid these triggers by staying away from the smoking areas and from the other people who smoke. Make more friends with non smoker as they will never invite you for smoking which is also one of the major trigger. Since alcohol consumption is also one of the major reasons of smoking, thus reduce your alcohol intake. Thus these simple yet effective means can be used to avoid various smoking triggers.
