I smoked a pack and a half a day at least 16 years or more. I tried all the other ways and nothing worked. So I finally tried a prescription for Chantix and it somehow worked for me. Been cigarette free for over 2 years now. Now later on down the road I heard theres been some recalls on Chantix so maybe something to think about. At first I still had the habit a reaching for one, sometimes had some urges or missed it. But Im saving money, smell better, taste better, healthier. Dont have to get up or stop in the middle of a movie to have a smoke, lots of advantages!!
