Don't : Don't try to wean yourself off of anyhing on your own. If you want to wean yourself off of Suboxone or any medication do it under the supervision of your physician. You can go through withdrawals if you do it on your own. Smoking ypu can discuss with your physician as well as there are many options including cutting down by number of cigerettes daily or the patch or gum. Speak with your physician.

Suboxone: You should definitely not stop cold turkey, there is a particular withdrawal schedule that your doctor is aware of and can guide through the process. Best.
