i've realized this....when i was in rehab about 6 years ago this lady....i basically called her the candy lady....she always had LOADS of candy and had during the drug counseling sessions, she ate all the time and smoked ciggerettes during breaks...but i hate to admit it....im the same way, when im on the net i always suck on candy, cinnimon gum drops, jaw breakers, starbursts, alot of diffrent variety...and i also notice smoke too....but i'm coming to the sense that this is kinda another addict mentality to balance pleasure. If im not on a pleasant substance to keep me company with paradise..lol i usally just suck on candy and smoke ciggies. This does make some sense because the candy creates pleasure...maybe a mild pleasure just like ciggerettes....alcohol really isnt my thing, only when im coming off stimulants is when i have to flood the unpleasant dyphoria with drunk sedation. I did that all the time with Vyvanse...i was on 140mg in morning it wore off about 5-6pm and i just flooded my system with wiskey.
But, i don't know what else to say...i just want to post this for medical knowedge to any university or browser of the web to figure this out...when i go to NA meetings they smoke ciggs...i see it replace addiction with another lighter addiction, ciggs, candy, food, sex...all that stuff they talk about or do at the NA meetings...the dudes i was friends with always talked about the next chick their gonna bang. You get what im saying....
anwways...well, thanks for reading...

Cigarettes are not a lighter addiction. And you are doing a fives shakes a day thing but eating candy non-stop?
I've always loved sweets but didn't do them that much when I used to drink because of the sugar in beer etc. When I quit drinking and was on meds that make you crave sweets it really got going.
Sugar, cigarettes etc will have to be addressed because you will get sick, diabetic or dead.
I think you smoke around a half pack a day? Cut it to five if you can and suck on cinnamon sticks. My uncle quit that way. I'll eat every sugary substance I buy. When I run out I'm forced to eat fruit which honestly taste so much better.
Good luck my man.

you should try sucking on nicotine lozenge or gum, instead of candy and maybe you will smoke less! Plus less sugar. Thought you were on a diet?
