Need help to smoke less
Ok so I am addicted to smoking. I smoke a lot and I really need to smoke like 3 to 5 cigarettes less then I do now. But it's hard. Especially since I'm bored a lot. Any tips?

Re: Need help to smoke less
I quit after 35 years of smoking around two years ago. The best advice I have to offer you is that even though quitting all the way is incredibly hard (oh my goodness, is it), I think in the long run it's easier to be and stay successful at it than it is to cut -- and stay cut -- back. I'd suggest that you consider quitting, period.
I found a lot of the apps for quitting deeply annoying and patronizing, but there's one that I thought was actually pretty helpful -- called "Smoke Free" https://smokefreeapp.com/ -- if you're someone who finds something like an app useful.
