ty for all the well wishes, day 15 for me.... just one piece of advise for the smokers trying to quit, don't do the gum.... it's an aquired taste and i just can't get used to that, ewwww, it's awful!
I've never tried any other Quit Smoking Product.... so i don't know about em' I do know some people who are on the patch, but they're still smoking?
With this time around, I quit cold turkey..... How I'm doing it? I dunno, I guess it's just time and my body is agreeing..... I did the gum last year or something when I tried to quit, and it was soooo disgusting I thought smoking would be better.... so i didn't quit smoking at that attempt. (day 16 for me, YIPPEE)
I have heard this pill, CHAMPIX from the Viagra makers, Pfizer, gets you to quit easy
Quitting smoking IS NOT EASY, no matter how many gimmicks they put on the market to help. Just buy some toothpicks, and regular gum, and keep your mouth busy, and tough it out!
I have it, it's called Chantix. It works by taking the disirable flavor out of cigarettes by releasing the same chemicals in your brain. When you smoke a cigarette, it doesn't have the same taste and you don't get the same high from it. I am saving them because I need to take breaks while playing poker and it helps with the process. Otherwise I would play for 8 hours straight, could go on tilt, and loose my roll. However, that's a good start. Word of advice for quiting anything. The more you think about it (AA, NA) the worse it becomes of a problem. Just don't think about it until it arrises and choose not to.

That's not really how Chantix works. It works by filling in the slots in your brain where the nicotine go's. I know I've tried it. It only helped me a little. I had stopped smoking at night. You are correct though saying it makes your cigarettes taste bad. That it does. It also messes with your brain big time. I was having 6 or 7 dreams every night and recalled not only the dreams but what I was thinking in the dreams as well. It was a nightmare. There has also been more than 250 Chantix users in the past 2 years that have killed themselves or tried to kill themselves. Not to mention the the people that have flipped out and tried to hurt there loved ones on it. There is a Class action lawsuit against the makers of Chantix for over a year now. That script cost me $152.00 for a two month supply, No medical coverage will pay for the drug because it's still experimental.
