I am trying to quit smoking and was wondering, I always smoke a half a cigerette when I smoke so that ends up being a little less then a pack a day. So isn't that really only a half a pack a day?
Also is smoking a half a cigerette and then putting it out and smoking the rest later considered smoking 23 cigerrettes or one.

I dont smoke all of the cigarettes in the pack I smoke about 10 a day and there is 20 in a pack but I smoke half of one at a time and was wondering if that was just as bad as smoking 20.

it doesnt matter if you smoke a whole packet at once or take one puff of a cigarette and put it out, then light it up again and put it out..etc etc...at the end of the day... you still smoking all the cigarettes in the box!

Unfortunately, the sad truth is that there is no "halfway measure".
You are either:
1. A smoker.
2. A non-smoker.
If you smoke, you buy cigarettes, you buy lighters, you light up your cigarettes and you inhale them.
Don't buy into the myth of "light" cigarettes or cutting down incremently. The truth is that if you smoke, even as little as half a cigarette a day, then you are still a smoker. The -- only -- way to restore your body to the maximum health it can reach is to stop smoking altogether.

if you are gonna get nitpicky about the way you smoke then also take into consireation how long you hold your inhale for when you smoke. by smoking 1/2 a cig each time you may as well diving that number by 2 and smoke whole cigs. at least its cheaper that way.
if you are gonna quit, do it cold turkey or else you shall smoke again.
in the end, its only cancer anyhow right? some folks get that from never smoking. life is fun isnt it? and if you are not having fun, its aint worth livin! so light one up!

if your really ready to quit go see a doctor about going on Zyban and the gum. Stop halfing your smokes cause in the back of your mind your really thinking hey I got another half to smoke I'm going to smoke that... then your nicotine level goes back up... your smoking another half cigerette regardless just start doing the math on how many total smokes you smoked.

Cold turkey is the only way to go buddy.
It is very difficult for many but is the best way. I've been off for longer than I was on - (20 years)
