In response to Sam there is no quick and easy way to hide it. For me what works best is having what I consider to be a complete safety zone for cig smoking. It may change over time, but you need to have a place that you can go to light up to satisfy the need.
Note, I said place. That does not mean time. Each one of us is different so while you might always have a safe place, the opportunity might not present itself to use it.
Before I last moved, I had several safety zones. One was going out, parking the car, taking a short walk and enjoying some deep drags. Other times it was walking the dog down certain streets where I knew no one. This all presupposes that there is no one who is going to smell it upon return home. You can't hide the smell on your breath or your hands without some time. I figure one hour is safe if you are not going to be kissing anyone and make sure you wash the hands.
If there is no hope for having a cig, [like weekends for me] in most cases I will suffer through the morning and sometime after lunch have that little cigar. Not the same but it serves a purpose.
When that is not possible, then I just have to put it out of my mind the best I can. Thinking and obsessing over it only makes it worse.
