Its not just the nicotine. Its also the other 50+ chemicals they out in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as 'my body needs something, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these 'my body needs something' sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the 'want something' feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we've had one we still have the feeling, and want another!

Never, ever go near an open flame with a cigarette in your hand or mouth. Never carry matches or a cigarette lighter, and never ask someone for a light. Do not even think about carrying a flint stone and rock to make a spark. In other words, just quit.

try keepin your smokes in a pain in the *** spot to get to. Like your car at work, so you have to walk all that way to get em. It worked for me everytime, till i picked it back up.
I also took niacin (500mg's), and didnt have any craving at all for it. oh and buy cheap cheap cheap smokes so when you light em up you wanna puke. That helps too
