What means by his methods? Especially "relaxation exercises, even affirmations". I don't grasp the meaning of these two methods? Can you give some explanation?
tapering off means smoking less over time until you quit
the buddy system is having a friend quit with you for support
relaxation exercises could be many things, meditation, controlled breathing
affirmations refers to positive suggestions either thought, spoken or maybe written down as little notes, something like "you can do this", "one day at a time"
