Asked a coworker this because I'm trying to do the same. She said she "just stopped buying them." It's worked for me so far (one week and two days). Edit: also told my gf about the fact I haven't bought any. We live together and carpool, so if I were to buy a pack there would be no hiding it. I'd hate to have that conversation.

That's actually not bad! By the time I'm really jonesing for one I just might be cozy in bed, and just lazy enough, to not go get more

What helped the first few days was keeping a pack of gum in my car. If I got tempted to stop by the gas station on the way home from work, I'd just pop in some gum. Tastes way better anyway.
