smoking cessation
"I was a 1/2 pack to a pack a day smoker for the past 33 years and thought I would never be able to quit smoking.  I have been on Chantix now for three weeks and stopped smoking one week ago today.  I have been simply amazed at how easy it has been.  I tried cold turkey, the patches, the gum etc. and failed each time I tried to quit using those methods. I smoked for a few days when I started taking the medication but slowed dramatically even after the first day.  I picked a 'quit' date that was 2 weeks out from the start of taking the meds and quit one week before that.  I have had absolutely NO withdrawal or bad side effects.  It's almost like you forget to smoke.  I am finally free from being a slave to smoking and happy to be so!"
