Good luck and stay strong guys. You can do it.
I smoked in high school and in college, mostly as stress relievers (my parents smoked so I'm sure that is where I learned that "smoke to destress" behavior from). I stopped smoking soon after college around 2000 and haven't since then. Ironically, even too this day, every now and then I will get the urge to smoke (especially if I smell one that I use to smoke). It is an urge that I easily can control though.
Like AGDee, cinnamon gum (Big Red!) helped me to stop smoking by being a great diversion of the cravings. I wonder if maybe there is something in the spice cinnamon that helps calm or curb cravings.
