Tried to clarify the difference to a question someone suggested as duplicate.

| Jan 14, 2023 at 17:46 | comment | added | holroy | @WeatherVane, for some people those ideas in the other thread are great suggestions, but I'm more technically inclined and would like to see the technical (instead of personal) solution to this issue | |

In your case, you might find you help yourself to several treats to last through the next hour. What worked was to keep the tobacco with me, and keep putting off the next smoke, like, "just leave if 5 minutes", or "it will be more enjoyable if I wait a bit" etc. | |

| Jan 13, 2023 at 14:34 | comment | added | fred_dot_u | My first thought was of a DIY Arduino type construction. I suggest that you convert your comment to an answer to garnish at least one up-vote. Don't get wet or eat after midnight. | |
