How? I simply "switched" from smoking cigarettes to mini cigars (The kind that come in cigareete-like packs)! It takes a couple of days to get used to the new flavor... but you wind up smoking less...paying less...and are not putting all the "addatives" in your system, so you actually feel better.
I recommend this method without reservation! I can now thumb my nose at the cigarette nazi's without having to play their game! It's amaing the advantages of just removing the "ette" from your cigarette choice!
I didn't cut my cigarettes, but now we roll our own and get a beautiful carton for under $8 dollars. Can't beat that with a STICK!
Or get the pipe. Even cheaper and much better! And a lot of fun.
