You also have to be careful in avoiding/reducing consumption of some foods when trying to quit (or at least trying to flush out nicotine from your body). First of them is Meat as it make cigarettes taste better.
Spicy/sweet foods are also known to enhance cravings including Jalapeno, Mexican/Indian/Thai food, cakes, cookies, ice cream etc. Also, try avoiding food that you associate with smoking.
