OCD and Smoking Please help

I went to buy a pack of cigarettes yesterday and on the way there I bit my fingernails. I wanted that pack to be the last pack I ever bought and quit smoking but because I bit my fingernails, I tell myself I have to go back to the same store, only this time not bite my fingernails and then I can quit. It's like if the wrong thought gets stuck in my head while I'm smoking or on the way to get cigarettes or whatever, then I tell myself I have to buy a whole new pack and start the ritual over. Any advice on how to get around this? I would really appreciate the advice.

hmm i don't have ocd myself so i can't really give pro advice, wear gloves maybe on your next trip so you don't bite your nails?

I've been a chronic nail-biter my whole life, and so is my dad. It's all willpower. Start running every day, and you'll start to notice VERY FAST how smoking is affecting you. That's how I cut down drastically.
