This is the same way I was. We get two 20 minute breaks at work. I couldnt take one without smoking because I just found myself sitting outside in the park. Smoking out of boredom was the #1 reason I smoked by myself.
This also translates into the ways I stopped smoking (and may help you 666). I was so used to twiddling something in my fingers, and holding something in my lips, that NOT having a cigarette physically with me made me think about smoking even more. I put down the ciggarettes mid-pack... the "this is my last pack" BS doesnt work. Easiest way to do it I think, is to jump in your cage and toss that ***** out going 70mph, which is what I did mid-pack. Said to myself, "I'm never going to smoke again" and I've kept my word to this day. I replaced cigarettes with toothpicks (free at most places) and Eclipse gum. These kept my fingers and mouth busy, and before I knew it, I was completely over smoking. People kept knocking me, saying I looked like a redneck having a toothpick all the time... but it looked better than their smoking asses smelled! Also I recommend Eclipse gum because its the only kind I've found that I can chew for hours on end... literally, If I'm not thinking about it, I can go 10-12 hours on one piece.
