 "I can't stop thinking about smoking." 

Yes you can. You can totally control your own thoughts. You do it all the time without realizing it, it's just that right now it feels overwhelming.  So here's what you do.

Hold this up in your brain:

Then distract yourself by looking at a catalog, watch TV, pick up a craft project, read something, noodle around online, ANYTHING to keep yourself from thinking about smoking.

Creeps up again?

You've got this. Keep it.

I became nicotine-free on Christmas Day 2017. That's what I use as my quit date. I had smoked cigarettes for 45 years, then vaped Juuls for a few months before quitting cold turkey when I used up my supply of pods. I am a retired widow, living in Upstate NY.
