I am a tobacco counselor and have been helping people quit smoking for about 5 years. Until Chantix came along, all we had was NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) and Bupropion (Wellbutrin or Zyban). Chantix was and is a welcome addition to the tough task of quitting smoking.

The key here is nicotine, one of the most addictive drugs in the world. Chantix goes after the receptors that scream for nicotine: fools them into thinking they're getting it, then goes on to actually block the effect of nicotine.

Studies from the company initially stated 44 -60% quit rates. Quit rates in our community are much higher.

Bottom line, this may not work unless you are really motivated to quit. Most things in your life work better with motivation and quitting smoking or chewing tobacco is right up at the top.

My advice follow strict directions with your Chantix and LET it work. If you don'y just quit on schedule, keep with it. Many places recommend small amounts of 2mg nicotine gum if and when you get down to 1-2 cigarettes but can't quite kick them.

THIS STUFF WORKS! DON'T GIVE UP!!!

I think the key here is to follow the instructions exactly. I took it with success. And I was strict about the time schedule, with food,and lots of water (for the kidneys, which will help the nausea affect). I once forgot to take it until later in the evening and I really had a rough night. So I tried to take it 5 to 6 hours before bedtime and that helped. You are so right about all the side affects being better than death, and for the most part they are temporary. I feel this is a miracle drug in a way. Because I never thought I would quit so easily. Believe me I have tried. Great review.

You are so right. Chantix was the only thing I have found that actually made me forget about the desire to smoke for a full day....after that, I KNEW I could make it! Bless you for helping others to quit.
