When the urge to smoke gets unbearable, try getting some exercise--if you
can, go jogging or take a long, fast walk. If you can't get up from what
you're doing, try isometrics. Avoid any place where there are smokers,
especially bars. When I quit about 15 years ago, the first month or so
was an ordeal; after that, the craving subsides, but you are very
susceptible to relapse within the first year, and you will likely
always have a subtle, lingering desire for tobacco for a long time;
it's a tough addiction to fight, but it's a battle you can't afford to
lose.
