i've been on these pills for 4 days now, and already i barely feel the urge to smoke
i know a few people who have taken these, and it has a pretty high success rate
good luck!!

TOTALLY AGREE!
My wife smoked about a pack a day for over 20 years and started taking Chantix with no noticeable side effects. Also the cost is about $100 a month for the prescription but that is about what she spent on cigs monthly.
The first week you can smoke all you want while taking the pills then on DAY 8 it's COLD TURKEY! She said that not only did she not have the nicotine craving but that the cigarettes themselves tasted like CRAP!
BOTTOM LINE: It's day 44 and she has no desire to smoke at all!
