Smoking cessation: is a difficult undertaking in almost all cases. It is advisable to cut down slowly prior to trying to quit altogether. Try smoking one fewer cigarettes/day until you get down to 3-4 cigarettes per day, then cut down more slowly, by smoking only 1/2 cig or 2-3 puffs. Nicotine patches help with withdrawal symptoms, but do not address other issues related to cigarette smoking, eg. habit, social.
