I quit four years ago and took up quilting to keep my hands/mind busy. Applique is about the least expensive method of quilting since you aren't using up so much fabric and the hand work will keep those hands busy.
I would also like to share with you the two things that were essential to my succcess:
http://whyquit.com/joel/ (number three on the list 80 quit smoking videos)
http://www.quitnet.com/qnhomepage.aspx (there is a free version and a pay version, I used the free version..a great community of people quitting just like you)
The gal above is right, when you quit the money will be there.
