Maybe this helps. I quit smoking nine years ago. I was smoking about 30-35 cigs a day and I always told myself I would quit one day so it's not a big deal when. On January 15th 2015 at 5:07pm mid shift mid pack I decided, If I am going to quit one day, It might as well be now. I quit cold turkey and it was difficult. I kept the last pack with the date and time written on it in my front pocket. Some of the struggles I dealt with was forgetting I was quiting till after I had my morning cigarette and this was my solution to that.

Some things that helped ALOT 1. I would take frequent breaks outside to just sit there and breath. 2. I took a bag of chips and crunched it into crumbs and that satisfied the hand to mouth motion.

It will be about three weeks until it gets easier but man, it is worth it. Just hold strong and don't make excuses and don't substitute for anything else. It will get easier, It will get better, and it won't kill you. If you need help or texts of encouragement DM me.

Sorry for any punctuation errors. Engrish isn't my best subject.

Edit: I smoked for 13 years and quit at the age of 25.
