Was trying going the Chantix route. a couple of weeks ago
But I found myselfe suceptable to several of the potential  side effects.

Lethargic,
Insomnia. (and Im someone that was able to force themselves to sleep on Acid and Crank)

VERY Weird drams when I did sleep

And Depression.

That crap is still leaving my system

And the worst part. is I found I was smoking more

well, i think ANY of the drugs they market to quit smoking..or anything for that matter, will have nasty side effects. i think there's only a couple ways really.......one, would be how my mom quit...when i was about 10, my brother and i both nagged her endlessly till she got so disgusted hearing us about it, that she finally just gave up and quit.
 the other is the way a few friends have done. i have 3 friends that went to a hypnotherapist. with the excption of brian's wife, they all still don;t smoke anymore....and it's been almost 20 years now.

now, please don't misunderstand me, i'm not trying to tell you what to do. i was actually joking in my last post, and since you mentioned that you;re trying to quit, i only mentioned what worked for people i know.

I found the best method to quit was the Nicotrol Inhaler.  Yes, it tastes like crap but it had me off of smokes in less than 2 weeks, no side affects.  Well, no side affects for me anyway.  And best of all, no insomnia.  I could sleep under low flying helicopters when I was active duty in the navy.

Too bad the chantix didn't work for you. It never caused insomnia in me and I had no nightmares though I did have a lot of interesting dreams. There were some other slight side effects for me but for the first time in my life I was able to quit. I quit April 5th of last year.

Yes, every once in a while I would really like to light one up but I havn't given into it. My wife won't let me for one thing... She does give me a lot of support though.

Good luck with quitting.

The most effective method of quitting smoking is the one where you watch someone you love and respect die a slow, agonizing and horriffic death.  Then again mabe cigarettes aren't really bad for you.  Or maybe the rules just don't aply to you.  Yeah, that's it.

Actually that doesn't work for quitting. The idea is, as I see it, quitting tobacco completely. At one point in time I smoked pipes to get away from cigarrettes. It became a new habit and I went back to cigarrettes.

I smoked for over 40 years before I quit. It basically boils down to making up your mind you really want to quit. The Chantix made it much easier for me but without the will to stop it would have been a waste of time.

that was more about avoiding the fire safe cigarettes than quitting, i should have made that clearer.

though the added cost of cigars over cigarettes might help some as a incentive to quit.

Thing is. I smoke those too. LOL

Fell in love with em last spring.
Now when I go into a cigar shop Im like a kid in a candy store.
Buy 2-3 of ones I know I like (Bolivar, Pedermo, Partagas, Camacho etc)
And 2-3 of ones I never tried before.

Only smoke one or two cigars a week though.

Chantix might have worked had I followed it through.
The worst part was the feeling lethargic, and depressed (nothings weirder then the dreams you have on acid LOL)
I'd get to the jobsite in the morning. And had a really hard time motivating myself to do anything.
And when you get paid for what you do. Rather then for how long you do it.
Well thats not a good thing.

That method didn't work for me. I watched my mom die from lung cancer when I was thirteen.

I smoked for another twenty-eight years. Just quit last year Feb. 19, I used the commit lozange(sp). I think that you just have to be ready to quit no matter what aid, if any, you use.

Seen it.

Plus Im already a Chemo veteran (hodgkins lymphoma)

I know very well the rules apply to  me.
Even moreso then the average person

thing is. every time I think about quitting. and get close to actually doing it.
My wife starts telling me to quit.
And for some reason. As soon as she starts in. I no longer feel like quitting.

I know that sounds weird. But its true.

Worst way to get me to do something is to pester me about it.
The more im pestered. the less likely I am to do it.

Its gotta be of my own mind in my own time.

But I gotta stop.
