Look into vaping, much better than smoking. I vape personally and helped me quit the cigs.

I am all for smoking cannabis. If you cant smoke take some edibles.
I'm almost 6 months smoke free but I had help from my doctor and Chantix. I had tried nicotine gum and patches in the past with no luck.
how about for cannabis? and thank you! ill consider it
@marcieee yeah cannabis can be applied to most of the same coping mechanisms listed above :) i have a bit of an addiction to it too, and that stuff helps

@europa.xavier thank you!
i personally struggle with addictive personality issues, so i recommend finding something thats similar but different. if its an issue with smoking nicotine and not just smoking in general, i recommend smoking herbs. lavender is a good one, as it helps with bodily pain, headaches, restlessness, and sleep (one of my favorites). or if its just smoking in general, everytime you have the urge do a specific task or eat something specific. like, my mom used eat sugar free lollipops everytime she had the urge, and it helped for a good while. nicotine gum is also an option you can get without a prescription and ive seen it work alright with a lot of my ex smoker friends :)

One suggestion is to use CBD oil as it may not have the same effects as THC, but it could help take the edge off some problems. Additionally, consider incorporating exercise, meditation, and a healthy diet into your daily routine to help cope with depression.
