"Cold turkey" means quitting without any smoking cessation aids, and has nothing to do with your process of "cutting back" or anything else. "Cutting back" doesn't exist. You either smoke or you don't.

Going off the evidence you provided I would say this is an example of a slow and gradual decline over a period of 15 years. I took about 3 weeks to go from a full pack and slightly more to half a pack.

3 weeks is 3 weeks longer than cold turkey.

A Dr told my buddy he could have died going cold turkey from the Diazepam he had been taking for years and years, telling him to ween himself off them by taking less and less each day instead.
Cold turkey means kicking it immediately with no exceptions.
And a delicious sandwich filling.

I understand that you're unfamiliar with the terminology. I smoked for 10 years and was probably actively "quitting" for at least 3. As a smoker you tend to smoke with lots of other people: at your job, at the bars, in fancy cars, etc.
Here's a conversation that I've had at least 50 times:
Me: want to have a smoke?
Smoker: oh I didn't tell you? I quit!
Me: oh nice! (subtext: I hate you for doing what I cannot) What did you use?
Now Bob, I understand you're probably confused here, cause you're a virgin. When I say "what did you use?" I want to know what helped them quit. Was it Chantix? The patch? Fucking lasers? Hypnosis?
Smoker: nothing! I quit cold turkey.
Fin.
Smokers don't give a fuck if you "cut back" or went from a full pack to half a pack or did anything else. I don't care how long it took them to quit, just that they quit. Cutting back doesn't help you quit, it saves you money and (if we're being fanciful) let's you think maybe you're not killing yourself as fast. In every conversation I ever had with a smoker about quitting, no one ever said "I'm going to just keep cutting back and back and back until finally I'm done!" CAUSE YOUR BODY WANTS THAT FUCKING CRACK.
Is that like crossing the streams in Ghost Busters?

"I'm gonna have a smoke break, you wanna smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are you, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself."
