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?
oh sorry i should have been more clear. I smoke cigarettes.

Candy isn't something I've tried, will try and see if it works for me.

I do play videogames, but on console or PC. I should try these mobile games, if only for the distraction. Thank you.
Thanks for this!
