i smoked for 16 years....2 things helped me quit...flavored toothpicks ( tea tree oil toothpicks or jujustix), the other is licorice chew sticks....or african chew sticks....these can be found online or in nubian/rasta/african stores they are about the size of a backwoods cigar...they also come in flavors i don't recommend straying from peppermint.
