Both my husband and I quit.....EASILY....using Chantix. Sorry but I won't listen to any moaning about how the gum/Chantix etc is "too expensive" when you're shelling out five-ish $ a pack for your cancer sticks.

If you REALLY want to quit......try the Chantix.....I've tried them ALL (including cold turkey which wont even work for me when it comes to corn flakes....or liquor......or cigs) and if you WANT TO QUIT.....not can you handle the withdrawl......just do you want to quit enough to not pick up the cigerette just because it's something to do.

Because this med WILL take away your desire to smoke. It makes nicotine gum and patches a JOKE imo! But it will NOT undo the itchy habit of what to do with your fingers etc while you yack on the phone or whatever you usually do while smoking.....that part is up to you.

PS...We had no side effects but I have heard that some people do...check with your doctor.

PSS....I started smoking at age 13..several packs a day...quit age 48 with this med. :thumbsup:
