Day 1 of the countdown
So I thought I would cutting down first before I actually quit. My plan is an obligatory 10 day countdown. Day 1: 10 smokes, Day 2: 9 smokes and so on. By day 5 I will change brands, no more high price smokes that offer 'an international passport to smoking pleasure' instead my last pack will be something purposefully not as enjoyable. Wonder if they still sell Winnie greens, they were particularly gross last time I had one. Good a plan as any I suppose as I will not take medication or NRT.
I wish you well while you're cutting down, Jason. Your plan is as good a plan as any if it means you'll end up smoke free. Best of luck and let us all know hiw you're getting on.
Hey, why don't you fast track the quit day to day 6 or 5? That way you can experience cold turkey and the reality of knowing you have quit but you can get back on the wagon. You will still have some days up your sleeve as opposed to the initial terror of knowing "this is it". You are either quitting or remaining a smoker. Going from 1 to none may not be an easy transition. Going from 20 +to none is an easier transition than 1 to none...
