Altoids work great as an alternative to cigarettes. Icebreakers Sours are sugar free, though and are also a great alternative. I don't mean to sound like a rep for these brands but it's what I use to stay smoke free. Both of these are cheaper than a pack of cigarettes and make your breath smell way better. They don't make you cough or hack up strange things either.
Good luck on and congratulations on quitting.
