Any side effects from the stuff?the pills block the receptors that the nicotine attaches to. for all said purposes i quit once i started taking the pills. the tobacco has no effect on my body. other than side effects i would imagine. as far as cravings, i have NONE. i keep thinking i should be smoking but i have no desire to. no tension or deep inner urges. just habitual urges now.

With cigarettes it's cold turkey. Actually, with alcohol it was the same. Feck, what am I saying? I'm an addictive person, so I need to completely stay away from shit I don't want to do anymore (no no no I don't sniff no more, I'm tired of waking up on the floor) lol

My roommate tried Chantix.
He ended up unable to wake up in time for work, which was never a problem before. He also said he just didn't feel right while he was on them so he stopped taking them.
We both ended up just quitting cold-turkey for about 4 months until a new roommate moved in. He smokes and now we're all smoking again. I started back with Nat Sherman MCD's which supposedly have NO addatives. 100% tobacco. I could smoke 2 maybe 3 a day and not worry about them otherwise. But they're almost $8.00 a pack and the closest place that has them is 4 miles away and I have no car. So I started with the Marlboros again and now I'm chain-smoking again.
Aarrgghh! Now I know there's shit in there that hooks you quick. Especially the big brands, e.g., Marlboro, Camel, etc.

I beg to differ...
Technically....you can't say you quit until your dead.
Once a smoker, always a smoker...
You can smoke for 20 years and then stop smoking for 5 years.
But once you start back up, the brain remembers where you left off, and your right back where you were when you stopped.
Plus, if your succesful at stopping.....Don't become an asshole.
Meaning:
Recovering smokers are more annoying with their bitching and moaning about people smoking, than people who've never smoked in their entire life.

day 4 and going strong.
congradulations fdd; i know how much of an accomplishment that 4days actually is... i'm gonna be doing the chantix also, the hell with what they say bad about it... but like bongjuice said, just dont become one of those annoying asshole ex-smokers; but you smoke too much good weed, so i doubt you're ever much of an asshole

It's just what my doc said ... He probably just meant that the worst part of the physical withdrawal is less intense at that point.. The whole point of quitting is to not go back...
I also hear that if you smoke for a while, and quit, you're still always going to be at risk for smoking related diseases... So if you're a long time smoker, it's almost pointless to quit for that reason alone. My brother was a huge dick when he attempted to quit ... Every time I smoked a cigarette around him he got all angry... He ended up starting up again anyway....

Congrats ... I'm assuming you've been smoking for a long time....It's admirable that you haven't given in yet.
Maybe I will try this Chantix... does insurance cover the cost of the meds?

This thread kinda got me to wanna quit too.... Mostly for the money reasons... 50 dollars a week is a btch... I sorta tried to quit yesterday ... Went all day without one again but I had to smoke a cig after my evening joint. It's hard to realize how addicted to the things you really are until you seriously try to quit... I guess I should try to quit now that I'm young... I'd imagine it would be much harder when I've been smoking longer.

I'm trying to understand why the hell I even started and what was going through my 13 year old mind..... Guess I just wanted to be badass ... Really cigs are dumb... What is not dumb about inhaling hundreds of different chemicals all day, staining your teeth, and blowing money... I need to quit.. I'll be insulting my own logic if I don't.
Or maybe I'll just make a pack last a whole week or somethin .. Only smoke a cigarette when I smoke herb. Newports are just wonderful right after smoking herb.. More as a leisurely thing than doing it out of addiction..

When I quit I used the nicotine gum. The first time I had to take it I was going to the Opera and I didn't read the directions....dumb....I chewed it too fast and it made me get all dizzy and I threw up on the person in front of me and then I passed out....A real class act I am!
