Most of us had that problem early in our quits.  We are missing that oral satisfaction that smoking provided - and there is a feeling of emptiness that we try to fill.  To avoid too much gained weight, try sipping on cold water first, then use some healthy fruits (frozen grapes and cherries, apple slices) and veggies (cut up celery, carrot sticks, cauliflower, broccoli) in between the other less healthy alternatives.

I have to admit that I used sour candies to reset my mind, I suspect that a little lemon juice would have done the same thing WITHOUT the sugar.  I drank tons of ice water, that was my "go to" and I went there FIRST.  I also had frozen cherries on hand all the time and they worked wonders.  The oral fixation takes a while to go away, it is how we dealt with everything, we put a smoking stick in our faces.
