try drinking a lot of water. any time you need to smoke, drink water. 1 its healthy, 2 it kinda replaces the 'reach for a cigarette' with 'reach for a water', eventually it replaces your default action by tricking your body a bit. Hint i got from a friend who used to smoke. (i dont)

Good luck man. Good for you. Good health decisions spill over into other areas of your life, in my experience.

Dip or chewing tobacco has more nicotine than cigarettes and that is what you are addicted to. That is not the way to stop nicotine, it only changes the delivery mechanism of your drug.

There is absolutely a "habit" element to stopping, i.e. something in your hand, a lighter you mess with, etc, but the problem is nicotine and the best way to get over it is to simply stop using the crap. Patches waste your money and prolong your withdrawal, that is all they are good for.

Cold turkey. Gut it out. In three days, the nicotine will be out of your system. Every day after that, you are fighting a mental game. Try to not take it out on those around you. You can use some accountability and a support group, try one of these if you are serious about stopping:

For Dip/Chew/etc: KillTheCan.org - A Resource To Quit Dip, Snuff & Chewing Tobacco (no patches / no "easing off", you just stop and suffer for a while with others in the same boat)

For Smokers: try this one, they have a daily roll call (accountability aspect) - Quit Smoking Message Board

I am posting this in hopes to find possible support/connect with ex smokers that went through this process.
It would be great to hear your experience.
I cannot "Vape"...lung problems. I am on the patch and any candy that fits into my mouth. It's been 23 hours since last cigarette. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't ever smoked but you could also use a physical activity when you feel the craving to smoke.
It could be running, lifting weights, etc.
