Hello. Trying to make a change in any habit in our life is always difficult. You have quit smoking and it has been 17 days this is really commendable. Habits are hard to break because they have become a part of our daily routine and due to nicotine in cigarettes we develop a dependancy on them because of which quitting is so hard. To help you in this process and not cause distractions to your study you need to try and replace the earlier habit of smoking with something productive. Like exercising in the gym, meeting friends, or doing other such activities which you enjoy.
Next Steps
Keeping your diet and exercise on track will help you body become stronger to avoid the urges of smoking. You also need to visit a doctor who can if needed prescribe medications to help you with smoking cessation. It is also advisable to seek counselling at this stage to not only help you curb your urges but also to work on letting go of this habit and also deal with any emotional disturbances that may be occurring.
