Effective methods i can utilize to distract my mind when i'm trying to quit smoking?

A cessation program: In very large part, such programs offer exactly what you are asking for, as well as having support from fellow "sufferers" of nicotine withdrawal. I also strongly recommend that drug treatment be used, particularly if people have had prior unsuccessful "cold turkey" attempts. Nicotine replacement with patches, lozenges etc are 1st, bupropion (zyban etc) 2nd and Chantix 34rd in my recommendations.
