I think it's the hand-to-mouth habit. Might I suggest that instead of candy, get yourself some cinnamon sticks, they're sot of like toothpicks but they are flavoured and you can chew on them. They're really good for quitting and avoiding shoving candy down your throat! You can get them at health stores, I think.

My husband quit a year ago using Zyban and the patch. They say it takes a 21 days for something to become a habit, but smoking is a powerful addiction, expect it to take 4-6 months to be over it. And you eat candy because you have an oral fixation. The hand to mouth habit is sometimes harder than craving of nicotine. Hope this helps and good luck, you can do it! My husband smoked 1-2 packs a day for 15 years before he quit.
