I sorta hate to say this, but found it to be true for me. Stay away from people that are smoking while you are quitting. I used to work with a bunch of smokers. We would all go out on break together and smoke. Makes it very hard to break that habit. I then got another job and there is only one smoker there and she doesn't really smoke during the day.
Even seeing people smoke on TV would trigger it. Don't watch classic movies or shows where you know someone smokes...
Suggestion is so strong. Think about seeing a fast food ad when you have missed dinner. They are on at exactly all the right times when you are hungry. Looks sooo good.
After a few months I found that I could be around smokers again, but seeing someone light up on TV still makes me want one.
