I,ve been smoking for about five years now and I,ll admit that i havent quite stopped smoking yet. But during the last few months i have cut down quite a lot.
I noticed it after i started going through a simple workout routine every other day or so. Now I mostly use... eh... What the heck is it called in english. Snus...
:blink: You know... You put it under you upper-lip...
Anyhow... I mostly *snus now* (which supplies me with my need for nicotine) and keeps my lungs smokefree. I,ve gradually started usin smaller amounts of *snus* and Im seeing improvement slowly. I wont say that I dont have a cigarette now and then, but Im doing much better now than before. A good workout seems to lessen you interest in smoking (worked for me), and if you just get that itching in your fingers try shuffling a deck of cards. (Managed to keep me occupied for quite some time when i feel the urge.)
I guess I have the norwegian navy to thank for keeping me with enought time to do some workout, actually they require me to do it for one and a half hour, five days a week.
I dont know if this is any help, but I believe that if I keep at it I can overcome the urge. Good luck!
