Temptation can be avoided by knowledge. In the Bhagavad Gita "Knowledge is obscured by the wise man's eternal enemy namely desire..." If you know temptation will happen you can avoid it.

The trouble with avoiding temptation is it may never come your way again. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.

If we feel that something is not good we should try to avoid it by cultivating higher taste.Like a child has a tendency to eat mud then we can give him some sweet thus we can avoid it. The best way we can avoid temptation is if we have character.It is like a lighthouse in the ocean even big ships have to steer past it.

temptation is everywhere....but try limiting yourself on being around the person or staying away from the situation you'll have a better chance on not being tempted.
