Chantix is one of those medicines which help in getting over smoking habit, but this medicine has some side effects as well. Person using chantix mainly encounter sleeplessness, change of taste and headache. So people should consult there physician before going for this medicine.

I can see how hard it is to quit smoking.

I started smoking last October and stopped smoking like a couple of weeks ago.

That said, I only had like a packet a week so I guess it wasn't enough to increase the chances of being addicted compared to if I smoke a packet a day. Although I do have the craving now and then.

Plus it's something to do especially if you're out chillin' in a club/bar.

I smoked for about 10 years aprox. a pack per day.
Quit about 3 years ago, and i will never smoke again.

It is difficult to do and need to be stopped suddenly, the reducing slowly to zero does not work.

I feel proud of myself for having the power of will to do this and it would be such a let down in front of myself to ever smoke again that i am sure i will not do it.

Pfft... quitting is easy.

I must have done it 16-17 times.


Seriously though, I think alot of it is down to the mindset of the person. My dad quit a few years ago and he had smoked about 20 a day for around 20-30 years and just quit overnight.

He said he didn't have any cravings but it definantly changed his personality. He was a right angry ******* for about 6 months but gradually went back to normal. He also put a fair bit of weight as well.

One thing that was a bit strange as well was his immune system went to hell. Normally no-one in our family gets ill very often but for the next year or so people just needed to sneeze near him and he would be laid out with a cold. He also developed a really bad respiritary infection a few months after... not sure how that worked.

Either way, good luck and keep it up. It's definantly worth quitting, its such a waste of money.

I can't remember how many years ago I quit smoking but I was happy to quit. I read Alan Carr's easy way to quit smoking and by the end I was excited to quit! $10 for the book and about 4 hours to read it and haven't looked back one of the best days of my life!
No withdrawals and didn't gain any weight.

how I kicked my habit was to individually rim each of the fag's butts and put them back in the packet so when i had a craving it put me off smoking.

now my brain associates fags with the smell of shite

it had an upside too for my mates,they stopped poncing fags off me

I'd say to my mates hey have one of mine and be like "**** no!"

That sounds really funny considering what the word "fag" means here in the states [rofl]

That's actually a good idea, taking the filters off so it tastes like ****. I gotta try that.

My wife wants to quit with me next week.

I know it's going to be really hard. I'm prepared to be a grumpy ******* for a week or two.

He's not talking about taking off the filters. The key word here is "rim." We're talking about the ring piece here (more English slang, but do a Google search and all will be revealed).

Let's just say they tasted like **** in a more literal sense.
