A simpler way to calculate daily dose can be the following:
For example, one smokes 20 cigarettes per day and feels a comfortable dose for next day is 19.
Step 1: Dividing 19:20 = 0.95.
This number can be used to find dosage for every day by multiplication.
Day we start dosage : 20 cigarettes
Next day : 20 x 0.95 = 19 cigarettes
Day after : 19 x 0.95 = 18.05 cigarettes
Day after : 18.05 x 0.95 = 17.14 cigarettes
..........
Day seven : 20 x 0.95 x 0.95 x 0.95 x 0.95 x 0.95 x 0.95 x 0.95 = 13.9 cigarettes
(Note as time goes by the rate of dosage reduction decreases, greatest reduction is on 1st day)
So if you can comfortably cope the 1st day you should be able to cope all the rest until dosage is 0
