I used to smoke several years ago, and I quit back in 1992. I found what made it hard was the feeling that I needed to be DOING something with my hands. Since I was working at the time, when I'd go to the break room, and everyone else was still smoking, I still stood with them and chatted with them. The difference was, I got a cup of water from the water cooler, and I sipped it while I chatted with them. I don't know. The hand-to-mouth movement of sipping the water kind of helped with that feeling of needing to be doing something hand to mouth.
Another thing...even though the air we were inhaling was actually smoke, I think smokers enjoy the feeling of pulling that air (smoke) in. Take the time to just think about breathing, and take some breaths of clean air. Pretend your smoking if that helps, (you can do this in private if you feel silly) but just think about the feeling of inhaling and exhaling. Don't do it too much or you'll hyperventilate!
These things helped me. hope it helps.
