When I quit smoking about 15 years ago (I was a pack a day smoker), one thing that helped a lot was learning that a cravng only lasts about 3 minutes so that if you can resist for 3 minutes you're in the clear. Of course that does not stop another craving from developing but it helps if each time you get the urge to smoke you tell yourself you only have to sit this one out for 3 minutes and it will be gone. I have no scientific corroboration for this but it did help me quit.
Good luck,
