Every cigarette in this pack has a filter of varying lengths. You can play Russian roulette with your smoking habit and grab at random.

Or go about it more methodically, smoking the cigs with a longer filter first and making your way down the pack until there’s hardly any tobacco left in the cigarette at all.

Like dieting, it’s not so much a matter of what you smoke, but how much you smoke. These cigarettes are perforated so they easily snap in the middle.

This means less tobacco for you and your partner in crime every time you smoke.

It’s easy to lie to yourself. “I only smoked two full cigarettes today,” you might tell yourself (you smoked four). Tseng designed these smokes as a truthful reminder of how often you light up. Each pack is labeled by month, and each cigarette comes embossed with the days of a month on them.

If you blow through all of June in a day, that might be a clue it's time to slow down.

There’s nothing like guilt to change behavior. Each cigarette in this pack comes with an assigned number, so every time you flick a butt onto the ground someone can pick it up and find out who did it.
