Sorry to hear that. I couldn't handle Chantix either.
Gotta do what works best for you. In the spirit of telling you about another tool for your tool belt, these 2 things help me immensly:
1. Cut drinking straws to the length of a cig. I still get to take my " straw breaks". All the physical motions are identical to a cig.
2. I got a nicotine "inhaler" (available by scrip only). It's more like a stub of a black and mild. As an alternative nictoine delivery system, I like it WAAAAAYYYY better than gum or lozenges. You puff it like a cigar - draw into the mouth, but don't inhale. Nic is absorbed into the bloodstream from the mouth, doesn't cause irritation like gum and lozenges.
It may not work 100% of the time to prevent from having a cig but every cig we don't smoke is a WIN!

Well your honor, we've plenty of hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence. - Lionel Hutz
