Part of quitting is learning how to do nothing, take breaks etc. without a smoke. This will get easier and easier with each and every crave and trigger you conquer. Check out our friend, Joel Spitzer's How To Do Nothing Without A Cigarette Keep in mind that some urges for a smoke are really signals that your body needs something, like water or food or rest.... H.A.L.T (Hungry. Angry (emotional) Lonesome (bored) Tired) can account for a lot. Riffing On H.A.L.T.
