4. Here are some things that may help.

Consider cigarette replacements: hard candy, soda straws, coffee stirrers, gum, sunflower seeds, and so on.
Try slowly eating some 70% or greater dark chocolate when you get an urge to smoke.
Increase your water and fresh fruits and veggies.
Keep your mind and your hands busy.
If you smoke and drive, start throwing your cigs in the back (or the trunk), whenever you get in the car.
If you smoke after meals, get up from the table right away and go do something else for a few minutes.
If you smoke when you wake up, try pushing back that first cig by 5 or 10 minutes a day.
Let the people close to you know you're trying to quit and to not take it personally, if you're grouchy.
If you have a "smart phone," look for free smoking cessation apps.
Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for resources in your state. You may be able to get some phone coaching.

Most of all, be kind to yourself. Quitting is hard work. If you slip up, don't get too upset. Just try again.
