    I am a Drug Store Manager who smokes at least 2 packs of Marlboro cigarettes a day for the last 33 years. I am in total agreement with me trying this Chantix. If it’s not to late for me….. Maybe not but looks like this will be a big job.
    If I can do this you can to! Pray for me & I will give this my best shot! Thanks for reading….

    Hi Everyone and Thanks for sharing. I was reading comments and wanted to post. This is my first day on Champix. I long awaited a month to see my Dr. about quitting smoking. I have tried everything and was sucessful but short lasting. I am really wanting to quit for good and, like alot of people I am afraid of failing. Reading others comments about actually going more than 21 days with out a cigarette makes me feel I CAN DO THIS!!! the side effects scare me but I need the help to quit. I will keep you posted. Wish me luck and you the same.

    I have been on on Champix for two weeks and after day 8 could not smoke anymore. My quit day was suppose to be the 10th day and I was unable to continue to my quit date. I have been on the patch, zyban and used Nicorette and I want the world to know that this time I will quit smoking for good because Champix is doing it for me. I have reccommended this to several of my friends and they have started it and a few have picked their quit dates and plan to join the Champix family. I cannot say enough great things about this and hope that everyone who smokes uses this and quits. Great work Pfzier. Thank you FDA for making this a priority for people like me who suffer from COPD and other smoking related ailments. I for one wil support this all the way to saving $250.00 a month in ciggarettes and not to mention the cost of my life…. I hate to quote the words of Maybelline but “I’m worth it”

My dream is, I hope Chantix makes me sick of cigarettes, because I like them and I like to smoke. so lets see what happens.

    Hi Folks,

    I’ve been taking Chantix since July 9th, and my Quit Date was July 30th. So far so good, 25 days smoke free. I can’t say it was easy at all, and I still have to work at it on a daily basis, but what Chantix did for me and continues to do is decrease the physical urge for nicotine, which allows me to concentrate on the Triggers and behavioral patterns I have set up over the past 30 years.

    I have had no major side effects from Chantix. I experience a bit of nausea once in awhile after I take a pill, but it lasts no more than 15 minutes and goes away. And I dream a lot in series of short dreams. However, since I’ve quit smoking and have been taking Chantix, I feel more rested when I awake in the morning.

    I intend to continue with Chantix for 12 weeks, as suggested.

    Chantix isn’t a magic pill, as I had hoped it would be, that makes you lose your desire to smoke. No matter what smoking aid you use, quitting is hard work, but the Chantix is making the journey possible and a bit easier.

    God Bless All of You, and I will pray for your success as I pray for mine.
