When I was in my teens and yearly adulthood, I smoked occasionally, especially among friends or parties, but after I completed my university, and started my professional career, I never touched cigarettes, even when offered at events. If you are trying to quit, “cold turkey” is the best method. In this method, you stopping smoking immediately rather than gradually reducing the consumption. Many experts believe this method is more effective, though some argue that you will experience withdrawal symptoms, therefore, you should go for gradual reduction.
