Change habits that you associate with smoking. If you typically smoke while talking on the phone, talk in a different room, hold the phone in the other hand, or sit in a different chair. If you usually smoke while sitting in your favorite chair, avoid that chair for a while.
Keep busy. Take up a hobby, go to the movies, go for a walk, work around the house, call or visit friends, write letters, read a book, use QuitNet… the possibilities are endless. One ex-smoker we know of built a beautiful deck on the back of his house while he was quitting smoking!
Keep your hands and mouth occupied. Try sugarless mints or gum, toothpicks, cinnamon sticks, carrot and celery sticks, crushed ice, or water. QuitNet members find that typing messages keeps their fingers busy and gets them support during a strong craving.
Find great resources, forums, and support online. I recommend quitnet.

Ask your doctor to prescribe you an oral medication called Zyban, its a month long course, and it takes away nicotine cravings, and I SWEAR takes your mind of ciggies altogether! Worked for me and I promise Ive tried every patch and gum available. It even makes cigarettes taste yucky! try it!
