I agree, Mercy. Thoughts come from the asociation with smoking of the particular event/situation. Easily noted and dismissed...even laughed at.
I differentiate urges (I do not believe I crave anymore in terms of physically crying out for the nicotine) from thoughts, by whether there is a physical feeling (ok, gnawing) that accompanies the thought. Little tougher to move on from. I usually need to consciously use some type of coping strategy...breathing deeply, getting active, and if all else fails...a creamsicle ;p
Anybody else go through this thought process of differentiating?
