Niacinamide (a form of Vitamin B3) is supposed to be somewhat similar to nicotine, and supposedly helps with nicotine withdrawal.

I think someone here at HN informed me that tobacco also has MAOI properties. Searching now turned up this link: "The results suggest that the inhibition of MAO activity by compounds present in tobacco smoke may combine with nicotine to produce the intense reinforcing properties of cigarette smoking that lead to addiction." -https://www.jneurosci.org/content/25/38/8593

You may find a MAOI helpful with getting your tobacco use under control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_oxidase_inhibitor (a reversible MAOI would be preferable)
