I've moved to a independent living group home and everyone here smokes and it's starting to get to me. Do you know any helpful tips that can help me?

The smokers are to be pitied for they are slowly depriving themselves of healthy days of life.
Perhaps try to feel sorry for them?! Try to be where they AREN'T as much as you can. If you are allowed, a walk outside is always a good idea - if you walk briskly it will give you a bit of dopamine you are missing and get you in the fresh air away from the smokers for a bit.
The Vicks under the nose is a good idea. I hope they aren't allowed to smoke inside the home. If they are, I might ask the house supervisor if they could designate an area (preferably outside).
Good for you for getting a step up and for your decision to quit smoking.

Congratulations on two weeks, that really IS awesome, keep in mind that they smoke because they HAVE to, not because they WANT to. I echo what Youngatheart.7.4.12 said I really hope they cannot smoke inside. Vicks helps...not being around smokers helps MORE. I don't suppose that is an option for now.
I join everyone in congratulating you on two weeks of freedom. That's awesome!
Remember how hard you fought to get here and protect your quit at all costs. Since you've made it this far, you obviously want this, so don't allow this situation to take you back to day one.
You have lots of support here. Lean on us...we've got you!

Keep a little Vick's Vapor rub under your nose.
