So good luck on that.
Only advice I have is to do something right after you eat to kill that right after you eat desire. Brush your teeth if convenient or dentyne if not but anything that clashes with tobacco should do the trick.
Cold Turkey is the best way. It will get better. Once you have quit never ever ever even think you can have even one. Trust me on that aspect.
I think it has been 3 years since I quit. Last year had cravings out of the blue but maintained.
