Some people quit all at once. Others reduce gradually. Some use nicotine replacement therapy or prescription treatment with medical guidance.
Cold turkey can work well for people who want a clean break and feel ready to stop completely.

A strong quit plan often includes three things: a clear method a plan for cravings support from people, tools, or professionals
The best quit method is the one you can follow consistently.
