For me it helped tremendously that I stuck to a plan where you are not allowed to snack on anything for a while. Three meals a day, spaced five hours apart, and nothing in between but water or tea. It doesn't work for me in combination with restricting my calories, but it totally killed my snacking habit.
Now I only have a snack when I'm hungry, not because of cravings.
Basically it's the same as francine has already said: you have to go cold turkey with the awful sweet and salty snacks.
For destressing on the job I recommend making a nice cup of calming herbal tea - there are so many varieties, you'll surely find one you like! And yes, there is time for such a ritual, no matter how stressful the job is, because after that you'll be far more productive again!
