Correct answers: going for a long bike ride; eating a healthy snack; going to a movie; treating himself to a healthy lunch.
Why: Physical activity (bike ride) and healthy food choices can reduce cravings and replace the oral habit. Pleasant distractions and rewards (seeing a movie, treating himself to a healthy lunch) help break the routine and provide positive reinforcement. Replacing chewing tobacco with cigarettes is not a healthy alternative — it swaps one tobacco addiction for another.
