1. Do what you can. Reduce your carbon footprint by eating less meat, using cars less, flying less. OK, by yourself it's not going to make a huge difference, but at least you will know that personally, you aren't making it worse. Join a group that is trying to make a positive difference.

2. Concentrate on the little things that make you happy. You can't stop climate change on your own but you can make something nice for dinner.

3. Value your friends and keep in touch with them. They probably feel pretty much the same as you do. Cheer each other up and support each other.

4. Get a hobby to keep yourself occupied.

That's all I can think of.

A couple of things helped me stop. First, I didn't set a day I was going to stop because that just made me anxious and want to smoke more as THE DAY approached. I decided I was going to stop soon and then one random morning I said to myself "this is it. Stop now", which took me by surprise and I didn't have a chance to get anxious.

Secondly, I kept to my routine of taking a break when I'd normally have a cigarette but I'd go outside and chew some ordinary gum instead. That way I could deal with the physical addiction first and the mental addiction later.

They should have been ramping it up 20 years ago. Short-termism fucks us again. Better late than never, I suppose.
