i read somewhere that part of the appeal of smoking is the breathing techniques [smokers breathe deeply when inhaling] so a cinnamon stick or straw replacement would still give you the breathing habits [& deep breathing is good for you, calming].
some useful links here
plus these two - quitting smoking
thinking about stopping
