After quitting smoking, many people feel tired, unfocused or under pressure. A quick walk into the fresh air can help clear your head and get new energy.

A quick change of location can be enough to restart the moment.

It is important to consciously structure your break differently than before. This means your body gets the positive effects of exercise and fresh air without activating the old smoking routine.

Why fresh air helps

Fatigue after quitting smoking isn't just about sleep. The usual interruptions in everyday life are often missing.

Daylight, exercise and fresh air give the body new stimuli. This can promote alertness, concentration and inner peace.

This is how you take advantage of the fresh air break

- Just go outside the door or to the open window. - Record a few steps in motion. - Consciously look into the distance. - Exhale slowly and relax your shoulders and jaw.

If possible, choose a different location than your previous smoking area. This is how a new habit is created step by step.
