I doubt it. I think for most smokers, one cigarette does them for a while. I don’t see anyone stopping at half a cigarette, so I’d guess it would only get smokers used to taking more nicotine in at a time.
Like I said. Mainly because if someone lights up, they’ll smoke the whole cigarette. Not half. But if they didn’t get enough nicotine from one, instead of not smoking again for a couple hours, they may smoke again after just 45 minutes or so. Or even start chain smoking.

So this effect only works in one direction?

Or they’ll adjust.
Smoking more IS the adjustment. Take some nicotine away, they’ll crave more nicotine.
Or they’ll adjust to how much is in what they’re used to smoking. Their bodies will adjust. Because cravings are driven by exposure.
And they’ll smoke more in order to get the exposure they’re used to.
A value immune to change in exactly one direction, apparently.
You don’t really know how an addiction works, do you? Nevermind that being a question for you to answer. I suppose I already know you don’t.
