I was a smoker for over 25 years. with a 1.5 to 2 ppd habit.
I started chantix 6 weeks ago and I was able to stop smoking 1 week after I started using the drug. I have tried several times in the past to quit and this is the only thing that I have found that really works. The active ingredient in Chantix tricks the brain into thinking it has nicotine without being addictive.
FYI:
To the best of my understanding, Chantix (Varenicline) is derived from cytisine which is found in a variety of different plants that are common in Europe. It has been known for over forty years that cytisine is effective in treating nicotine addiction. I wonder why we are just finding this out? Could it be that this info has been suppressed in the USA because of Big Tobacco?

I haven’t.My mother went to hypnotist and she hasn’t been smoking for 1 year.Good luck.
i haven’t heard of it. I smoked heavily for 40 years and gave up with Zyban, and it worked first time 100% Iswear by it.
I tried Chantix twice. I couldn’t handle the side effects the first time. My doctor precribed beginning with a lower dosage the second time, for a longer period. It worked for 3 months, until I gave it up due to my hair falling out. No warning about that but I did an internet search and found it happens to other people too.
