I think answers will be different depending on what it is...
Nvm, didn't realized this was in smoking cessation... tapatalk just said addictions for what I could see...

One thing I have seen work for other people is hard candy, usually sugar free. When the urge to smoke hits, they start sucking on some candy. One piece of candy can last 10 to 15 minutes sometimes. I've also seen someone get straws from a fast food place and cut them to the length of a cigarette, and then basically "smoke" the straw, for the oral fixation.

Usually, urges for things like cigarettes only last about 10 minutes if we are able to put our mind somewhere else. Is there a game you play on your phone that you could pick up and play when the urge hits?
