That is standard ALA advice and others mileage may vary but I personally didn't find it all that useful to me
The problem was that EVERYTHING is a smoking trigger and you just can't change or rearrange everything in your life.
Also it was far more basic than something that would be effected by switching the setting around a bit. For example it wasn't where or how I sat down in front of a computer that I got the urge, it was just that I sat down at one, regardless of location or seating or any other environmental detail i'd change. I just had to gut my way through it and that did work, but then I found it came back when I sat down in front of the computer in winter, then again in spring, then also when it turned summer.
I expect that when Rose and I move to the new house next month I'll get the urge again when I sit down at the computer over there even though it's been almost two years. But I'll beat that too because I still have my bag of "No"s.
