I lowered my dose like methadone... I would buy cartons and smoke like I always do, no need to torment myself on a daily basis ... except the first carton I got was a 'medium' after a few months I went lights, then ultra-lites... at that point I had to switch to menthol ... took about year... one day I finished up a pack before I went to bed, when I woke up I was a non smoker....

one thing to remember is whether you smoke or not the urge to smoke goes away AND every time you smoke you are making a conscious decision to harm yourself AND at six months I was in emotion crisis and could figure out why.... until someone pointed out the ciggys and the six month time frame to me.... see this happen to everyone I know that has stopped... and I stopped because I AM NOT A FUCKING QUITTER
