Followed by getting out of debt and losing weight, quitting smoking is the third most popular New Year’s resolution.

According to a non-scientific survey of Fresh Start Detail clients, the number one area to have that fateful, resolution-breaking cigarette is in their car. Why? Most smokers agree it is because no one is around to hold them accountable.

Making a big announcement to friends and family will help smokers resist nicotine urges, but those urges can grow quite strong with each passing hour and day after quitting. Many smokers struggling to quit will justify just one cigarette to “take the edge off.” Sadly that first cigarette often leads to another and eventually results in a failed attempt at kicking the habit.

According to behavioral specialists one important part of stopping an addictive habit like smoking is to change your activity and surroundings that may support that habit. For example, someone giving up alcohol wouldn’t continue to go to bars where the temptation is high – sights, sounds, and smells will only feed the urge. Similarly, a quitting smoker should remove themselves from situations where they know ahead of time that they may be tempted or even encouraged to smoke.

Specialists recommend removing all evidence of the smoking habit like all cigarettes, lighters, matches, and ashtrays, as well as laundering clothes to remove the scent of the nicotine. Thoroughly detailing the inside of the car and removing all the cigarette odor will also go a long ways to discourage smokers from lighting up again.
