EFT Tapping Script
Stop Cigarette Cravings
Preparation
Sit comfortably or stand with your feet grounded.
Take a slow, deep breath in… and exhale fully.
Bring awareness to the urge to smoke.
Notice the physical sensations (tight chest, restlessness, tension), the emotions (stress, boredom, anxiety), and any triggers (coffee, stress, social situations).
Setup Statement
