Thanks for all the encouragement guys!!! Chantix attaches to the receptors in your brain that nicotine adheres to. It also sends a signal to a different part of the brain to release dopamine, just like the nicotine does. Dopamine is the chemical in the brain that gives you the feeling of pleasure. Chantix contains no nicotine, It replaces the nicotine, so after a few days, you no longer have the urge to smoke. For more detailed info, please go to mytimetoquit.com My sister told me that after her fourth day, cigarettes started to taste nasty, like they were sitting in the cabinet for months. Its been about 7 hours since I took my first pill, and I must say that so far today I have smoked HALF my normal amount. I don't have the same urge and they have already started tasting bad. I don't know if its the medication working already or if its psychological, all I know is that for the first time in many years, I am smoking less rather than more. You can only get Chantix by prescription. As far as side effects go, it says common side affects are nausea, and being tired. Which so far I have felt none. Its not a anti-depressant, so there are no mood swings. Also there are no sexual side effects like other products It cost me $97.00 for a month supply. That's about as long as you will use it, my sister stopped taking it after three weeks. I didn't have to go to my doctors office, he just called it in to the pharmacy. As for my friends, most don't smoke and the ones that do, are waiting to see my results so that they can do the same.
Again Thanks For All The Encouragement

After smoking for 19 years and two packs a day I have decided to finaly quit. I just started my prescribed medication of Chantix. My sister who had a similar smoking history used Chantix and after a week she became smoke free. Its now been one moth for her and she cant stand even the smell of cigarettes. Wish me luck!!!

Occasionally that is

I smoke both, but it's too damn cold outside to smoke a whole stogey. Cigs are much easier, but much more deadly.

I've never smoked cigarettes in my life, I don't even like to be around cigarettes smokers. But when it comes to cigars I am all good, strange
