Citrus scent for a fresh start

Some smoking impulses arise from habit, tiredness or the need for a short energy boost. In such moments, an intense citrus scent can mark a conscious restart and draw attention to something new.

A new stimulus can help break old patterns.

Why citrus scents can help

Smells are processed particularly quickly and influence attention, mood and perception.

The fresh scent of orange, lemon or grapefruit can help

- To briefly break through fatigue - to bring your head back to the moment - to replace a smoke break with a new ritual - to re-associate usual triggers

Especially after eating or in typical smoking situations, a fresh scent can make the transition to a smoke-free break easier.

This is how you use lemon oil consciously

- Add 1-2 drops to a glass of water and drink slowly. - Open the bottle and consciously smell the fresh citrus scent for a few seconds. - Use the scent after a meal or during a break when a cigarette would otherwise automatically have been included. - Combine the scent with a short action, for example breathing out deeply, drinking water or standing up briefly.

The fresh scent and taste can help replace an old smoking break with a new, smoke-free habit.
