My fella found this talk useful.

He used to smoke the mild stuff (low THC), but it's the cigarettes he's been struggling with. He's on his third attempt, but after using the technique (TL;DW: your brain doesn't understand negative commands, replace it with a positive command. Instead of "I need a joint", try "I need air" or "I need clarity" or whatever feeling you're aiming for) he's feeling a lot more positive that he'll stick with it this time.
I tried to get him to read the Allen Carr stuff, but he's not much of a reader. Other people swear by it though. It's available on a certain library beginning with z if you want to give it a taster.
Also learning a new skill can give you the same dopamine hit that your addiction does, so take up a hobby, learn a language, etc.

Good luck!
