Well, kinda.

I know my last explanation wasn't going to very understandable, so I'll attempt it again.

I started by only smoking half my ciggarette, then crushing the rest (you appear to save your for later, I just trash it).

Then I realized, damn, I should be smarter about this and try to conserve money, so I'll try this:

Instead of smoking only half then trashing it, I'll smoke the whole ciggarette, but only smoke half as much as I was.

That way, I'm still smoking as much I was previously, but this time more at a time, but less amounts of time (thats the part that is hard to word, I hope that is better).

So, basically I cut back to half my ciggarette intake, but didn't do it out of no where, I had that period where I was technically cutting back, but still smoking as often as before.

I did that process a few more times over the course of about a year to get to where I'm presently at now.
