I have a friend that used this concept: He called it the 10 minute rule.
Anytime you want a cigarette, you know it wont actually do anything it just kills time. So in ten minutes (approx the length of time to smoke a cigarette) you would be right back where you are now. So if you could just wait, just ten minutes you would be in the same spot but didn’t have a cigarette, and surely you could have one then if you still wanted it.
And when you wanted it, you did ten more minutes.
Eventually, those ten minutes till you want one gets longer and longer, and eventually you just don’t at all anymore.
