With help!: Congratulations for cutting back. That can be difficult to do, but is so important for your health! I would recommend engaging support to help make your smoking cessation successful. There are a lot of options available to help. Nicotine replacement (patches, lozenges, gum), obtaining a medication to help with cravings (bupropion or varenclinie), and/or using 1-800-QUIT-NOW to keep you accountable
