Quit Smoking Aid

[DREDger]

If any of you are trying to or thinking about quiting smoking, I highly recommend Chantix.

I've struggled with it for years and tried everything...the patch, inhaler, wellbutrin.

The problem with the patch, gum or inhaler is that you only prolong the nicotine physical addiction...so it draws out the suffering.

With chantix you smoke for one week while taking it, then go cold turkey.

I won't say it's easy, but having tried everything else I'm sold on it, it really takes off the edge.

Plus it makes you dream some really crazy toejam, it's like going to the movies.

Now, please feel free to post how you enjoy smoking and are going to go have one just to spite me, hehehe.

I will stick to my e-cig thanks .

Going outside as soon as it hit the post button...and it's snowing heavily.  


Since my insurance doesn't cover such things...I'm going to have to prolong my agony a while longer.


  to you sir for taking the jump. I would recommend that you stick with the Chantix for no less than 2 months...several people I know tried and failed when they quit taking it in less than 2 months.

I've seen first hand evidence that hypnotherapy really works for some people.

Personally I dont smoke, I do dip though im no doctor so im not positive that what works for a smoker would work for a dipper and vice versa.

I have tried wellbutrin, and it really messed me up. Sleeplessness, loss of appetite etc. It did help me cut back on my habit, but I like to eat and sleep too much so that went out the window.

Chantix didnt do crap for me. I didnt even have those weird crazy dreams I hear about! I feel jipped.

I quit smoking 5 weeks ago, cold turkey, with no substitutes (gum, patch, toothpicks, food etc).

I decided smoking half my life was enough (36 now). I was never able to stop before for long, this time is different I just had enough.

LOL...dork.   

I'm at the office...getting to the point where even smoking outside is banned.

I'm not surprised...welbutrin is an anti-depressant, one of it's "side effects" is it helps curb the desire to smoke because of the other side effects...I tried it for a month...got a better reaction from Nyquil.

Chantix wouldn't do much for someone who dips or chews...the nicotine delivery system is different than smoking...and Chantix is made to block the receptors in the brain which cause a person to crave the fast nicotine intake that smoking gives...that little head rush isn't from holding your breath, it's the chemical reaction in your skull and it's very similar to the craving your brain gets from some illegal drugs.

  I only know this because my doc is a very sociable milf who enjoys talking.

I want your doctor! My doctor (real good doctor, knowledegable etc.) is an older guy, and he tends to be really "old school" in his approach and views on various meds.

Remember that old doctor in the movie Arachnaphobia? Yeah, well my doctor is his brother it seems like. My pysch, and pain specialist on the other hand are polar opposites of my primary care doctor in regards to how and what they do things.

smokes 2 packs a day for 26 years......never wanted to quit...did it for my doctor on a dare.

I had never tried to quit...because I loved it so much..and even my doctor said my heart and lungs did not sound as that of a smoker.

I picked a date almost a year in advance......and woke up everyday know THAT was the date....

on NYE at 11:59 pm I hotboxed my final cig.......got sick of course.......and spent the next four days goin up the walls.

on or about day 8 or 9.......I actually caught myself NOT thinking about smoking...and knew then I had it licked.  that was 11 years ago.

I was a pack a day smoker for 35 years.  Quit cold turkey some years ago and never looked back.  Had absolutely zero side-effects after I quit.  Pissed me off!

Had I know it would have not had any effects on me, I would have quit a long time ago.

"If I would have known it was going to be this easy, I would have done it years ago"

Surprisingly not an uncommon thought among ex-smokers.

I was a pack a day smoker for twenty-nine years. I finally quit three years ago. I did use the lozenge (I forget the name) to take the edge off when I would get a craving. After about three months I didn't need the lozenge any more and I have been nicotine free since.

Well I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones.  I quit two and a half years ago and still think about cigarettes every day.
