I smoked for over 40 years. I used chantix. The dreams I had I found interesting. No other side effects. I have been tobacco free for over two years.

I get a craving for a ciggarette once in a while but as soon as I smell someone smoking one it looses all it's appeal right there.

Hang in there, it's worth it.

I started when I was 14 and built up to almost 3 packs a day when I quit at age 43. That was 8 years ago and though I know any damage that was going to be done is already there I know I'm not going to make it any worse and get a financial reward from it as well.
I quit cold turkey, I think it was the fear factor, I had just had a TIA and wife-ack ranged in. I was lucky all of my cravings vanished in 3 days, at first I couldn't be around smokers but now I don't mind it if it's just one or two of them, any more than that and I find it hard to breathe.

While I'm not a smoker, the wife is..  And she's really interested in quitting..  How well do things like Chantix work?

Chantix does work, however one still has to have the desire to quit and stay off of them.  If she really wants to quit then I would recomend Chantix.  The cravings do pass, they get less intense and fewer and farther apart.  Good luck!

WTG to those who have quit smoking  and in the process. I am still having a very hard time with it.
