I am 4 weeks pregnant and I'm a heavy smoker
I have reduced the cigarette smoking exponentially, but it's just very difficult for me to quit. I smoke dunhill (8 mg TAR), from smoking almost one pack per day (almost twenty cigarettes) now I only smoke maximum 2 or three per day. That is a big improvement, is it possible to keep it this way throughout my pregnancy or do I really have to quit for good? I heard the first trimester is the most critical so I am a bit worried about this.

U've come that far, why not quit completely?! Of course, any reduction is better than nothing, but quitting completely is best. I would seriously consider dropping those last 2 or 3 cigs and quitting for good. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
When I got preg with my 1st, I was a pack (25) a day smoker. I cut to half the day after my BFP, and quit completely the day after that. It wasn't easy! There was A LOT of crying and mood swings, but I was determined not to force my child to suffer with MY addiction. After a cpl weeks, it got much easier. By the second trimester, it was all a thing of the past and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy.
Good luck with whatever route u take. Just remember, ur not the only one taking that route! U CAN do this!! =))
