I tapered. My tapering does not mean that I smoked only a few butts each day for days and days hoping to become un-addicted. It means that during the last seven days I did a test run of my quit. I tested my attitude and how I'd react to unpleasant things without running to a smoke. I did not want to leave myself in a situation where I'd bolt back to smoking because I was upset (usually something pretty small but unexpected). Anger, frustration and impatience were strong trouble points for me personally--so testing myself on these things helped me think about how I was going to deal with stuff. Not everyone who quits feels the burden of negative emotions. Some really are leaving mostly the addiction behind, and are relieved to be quitting.
Your plan is what makes sense to you based on knowing yourself, reading and listening to good info--taking what you need, leaving the rest.
Smoking the same or possibly thoughtful tapering are not unreasonable approaches.
