So... Let's just see if I can just not smoke... not make a big ass deal out of it and give cigs the attention they deserve... none...
I'm tired of this smell on me, my clothes, in my house....

Go you for hopping on the non-smoking magic carpet again.
Can I suggest that instead of an e-cig that you try an inhalator. For me it helped break the visual cues in a way that an e-cig can't because it looks like a cig. My friends called my inhalator 'the tampon'. 
I don't envy you going cold turkey, I could never have done that; I used Chantix and the inhalator for the hand-to-mouth habit. I also, sadly, had fear on side as I had just nigh on died from the worst chest infection I'd ever had. It was so bad I cried because I literally didn't have enough oxygen to move and only just about enough to keep breathing. .gif "Say What?") Srsly!
You seriously don't wanna end up where I am. My story is posted in this thread if you go back and find it. I'm sure I don't need to type it out again.
It's tough but no-one ever said giving up nicotine was easy. It requires monumental amounts of will-power to achieve success but I can tell you that it will be one of, if not *the*, best gift you ever give yourself.
I wish you will-power and luck in pursuing this gift to yourself.
Come check in with us on the non-smoking magic carpet when you feel you can and remember that you only need to do it today. You can't worry about yesterday or tomorrow, just today. Break the day up if you feel it's too much; do it hour by hour if needs be. Half hour by half hour if necessary. Whatever it takes for you.
May the force be with you 
and a spare for all you who are managing to stay on the magic carpet one day at a time.
ps. Day 19 of sobriety
