Chew sugarless gum
According to the stop smoking hypnotist, the urge to smoke often arises from an oral fixation - the need to feel something or taste an object with the mouth or lips - something akin to the desire felt by a baby who is continuously sucking his/her thumb or artificial toy teats or the mother's nipples.
If you can replace the cancer stick with something harmless or even beneficial, then you will be indulging in your urge for oral fixation without experiencing the fallouts of nicotine intake. You can chew on sugarless gum or better still you can chew on mint sticks or mint leaves or cloves.
