If you've tried to stop smoking recently -- or are trying now -- you may think that a gradual decrease in your cigarette intake may be more healthy (for the time being) that your regular load of smokes during a given day.

But if you're a heavy smoker, cutting back on cigarettes may not be drastic enough to boost your health according to a new study from Norway just published in the Tobacco Control journal.

The conclusion -- you guessed it -- quitting smoking cold turkey is the key. The study mentioned that cutting back on cigarettes "does not seem to bring about harm reduction" in heavy smokers.
