Every ex-smoker is tempted to smoke from time to time. The downfall of many quit attempts begins when someone decides that he or she can smoke just one. As we explained, almost all smokers who have a lapse go on to full relapse: The lapse creates an opening for a return to full-time smoking.

If you fee! that you are weakening and are convincing yourself that, although you want to remain an ex-smoker, you would like to smoke just one cigarette, merely to remember the taste or the feeling, then freeze. Stop and analyze the situation. You should smoke that cigarette only if you decide that you cannot continue as an ex-smoker and want to return to smoking. Make a conscious decision. Do not be at the mercy of an impulse. If you feel that these impulses are leading to a slip, get some help from a friend, a coworker, or a family member. Do everything possible to avoid the slip. Realize that the temptation will pass and consider how you will feel in a few hours if you allow yourself to smoke.

Once you are past the temptation, analyze what happened. Determine what was going on at the time to contribute to the potential slip. Develop a strategy to avoid finding yourself in a similar position in the future.

If you do slip and still want to remain an ex-smoker, do not despair. While it is true that 80 to 90 percent of people who have a slip go back to full-time smoking, there are exceptions. Just because you slip does not mean that you have to become a smoker. To succeed, however, you must reevaluate your commitment and plan how you will avoid the next temptation. This is an important time to use your support network.
