You didn't mention how long you have been smoking that "one cigarette" and have you ever smoked 2 or 3 and then went back to smoking "only one"?

I cut back once and I did fine for a few months. I only allowed myself 10 smokes a day. In a matter of 3 months I was back up to 1 pack. I don't think there is a way to "cut back." It never works for long.

I have a friend who smokes 1 a day but it is when she need to go to the bathroom, #2 (sorry everyone). For some strange reason it works for her.

The question you should be asking yourself is this. Given the right set of circumstances, could my smoking become more heavy? Why is it I need that one cigarette?
Why don't you try chewing on a toothpick or straw.
Any amount of smoking can't be good so given it is once a day, why not just stop? Only you can answer those questions.

I hope I have helped : )
