Never even tried one. But I applaud your successful effort. Quitting that addiction has to be hard.
As I've been going through my own transformation (six months from 212 pounds to 180 at 6'3") I've found one trick that always works: When I feel the urge to go assemble some boredom food, I go for a ride. Perhaps there can be some version of that approach for smoking as well. Even if I tell myself I'll do only a couple miles, first we all know it's never just a couple miles. It always turns into more. And also the prep time, and cleanup afterward take enough time that I'm no longer in the "boredom food" mode. I suspect that after the chemical addiction passes the primary reason people pick smoking back up again is similar to the boredom grazing. Just something to pacify oneself. So the next time that mood hits, go for a ride.
