hi dear,
10 cigarette a day is much and you should discontinue it for future lung and body problem.
to quit smoking you should have two methods.
1. sudden stop
in which you should stop it and take medication or other substitute like nicotine gums, lozenges, patches.
in this method withdrawal features and craving is more
2. Gradual stopping of it \
in which first decide a quitting date during that date slowly gradually decreased the amount of smoking
with this method you should also take medication for smother process.

Thank you
