I know it's gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it's something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can't find a habit to replace it with.

I quit cigarettes cold turkey with the help of raw fettuccine. It's useful for fidgeting, restlessness, and oral fixation. I ate about 3 packs and drank lots of water in the first 3 days, just staying home. In those 3 days, you don't want to go out, people will suck, air will suck, the sun will suck, everything sucks. After 3 days I was able to stop thinking so much about cigarettes. In those first 3 days, I wouldn't recommend leaving the house. Also after quitting for a while the smell of cigarettes might make you nauseous which is an extra buffer to keep off of them.
