The Smoke-Free Smoke Break
Stop Smoking Now with Mindfulness and Acceptance
Authors: Pavel G. Somov, Ph.D., and Marla J. Somova, Ph.D.
đŹď¸ About the Book
The Smoke-Free Smoke Break offers a fresh, compassionate, and scientifically grounded approach to quitting smoking â one that doesnât demand you give up the moments of calm and reflection youâve come to rely on.
Rather than seeing smoke breaks as the enemy, clinical psychologists Pavel and Marla Somov teach you how to reclaim the ritual. By replacing nicotine with mindfulness and self-awareness, you can transform every craving into an opportunity for stress relief, relaxation, and self-care.
This isnât another willpower-based plan or guilt-driven program. Itâs a practical and empowering guide that uses the tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness meditation to help you quit smoking naturally, while maintaining the soothing rhythm that smoking once provided.
đ§ââď¸ Key Principles & Practices
- Mindful Substitution: Keep the smoke break â change the habit. Replace the cigarette with deep breathing, awareness, and emotional regulation.
- Acceptance Over Avoidance: Learn to face cravings with openness and curiosity rather than resistance.
- Stress Relief Without Nicotine: Build a repertoire of mindful exercises that calm the mind and body without chemical dependency.
- The Ritual of Renewal: Reframe each break as a moment of self-connection â a way to pause, reset, and nurture yourself.
- Long-Term Maintenance: Use mindfulness tools to prevent relapse and maintain serenity long after quitting.
