Sparkwins, you're doing awesome with almost a month down! WOOHOO!!!
Can you try taking a different route to work? Or make sure you always have a water bottle and a straw with you? That way, you would still have that final check to make, only it wouldn't be for smokes and a lighter. It would be for your water and a straw.
As far as relaxing before leaving goes, I had that problem, too. I found that varying my morning routine and sitting in a different chair to have my coffee worked really well. I started getting into the shower and brushing my teeth first thing. Soemtimes, my eyes are still closed when I get into the shower, but it works because I take a minute to appreciate how clean I smell & how fresh my mouth is, and I do not want to taste & smell disgusting cigarette smoke.
You are 29 days a non-smoker, my friend, and if you've been able to get out the door and to work for 4 weeks, you can keep doing it. Get yourself a reward, you have for sure earned one.
