I smoked since i was very young and quit with out any help.... I had a friend use chantix and that was over a year ago and she still smokes..
actually i finished 2 back of champix and start with the 3ed back i feel that i get used to champiex plus cigarettes.
all you need is support and just believe in your self.....my dad has been smoking for 30 years and now he stopped by just having support from friends and family....keep your self entertained and try not to think about it
Hi Nicky,
I think you will continue to feel bad until you are able to quit smoking completely. Smoking and taking chantix smoking at the same time will not work. Either you let go of the cigs or quit taking chantix. At least try to do it gradually if possible. When you get the urges to smoke keep some snacks handy that you love and munch on them until it passes. My wife was successful in quitting by doing that, but she had used a different program called Cigarrest. Good luck to you in your efforts.

There is only one way to stop smoking and that is to really want to.All these products, programs do not help. They may help some who could have been successful with out them as well as only willpower works.
If you really want to give up smoking then just accept you will be "ill" for a few days. Buy some treats, a book. rent some good movies and say home for 3 days.
Nicotine withdrawal only lasts 2 - 4 days. It is easier to get through than what many people realize. We were hooked by cigarette addiction now we get scammed by patches, gums, drugs and all these other rip off merchants.
72 hours and you have withdrawn from nicotine addiction. That is it, 72 hours hours and you have beaten nicotine addiction. It really is not that hard. After withdrawal it will be purely habit and association which is easy to deal with if committed to stopping. So why do all these treatments that just prolong a few days of discomfort.
When I finally quit smoking cold turkey I was angry I had been led to believe how hard it was. It was not as hard as I thought. Not easy but certainly do-able.
72 hours to become nicotine free.
Day 1. Quit late day. That way by the time you wake up the next morning you have more hours smoke free clocked up before really getting down to the symptom stage. I would say best time to quit 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe a Friday and keep the weekend free.
Day 2. Time stood still, clock would not move. Had a two snappy episodes but each time laughed. them off as part and parcel of quit smoking. That night sleep was only in 2 hour blocks, weird dreams.
Day 3. Time stood still part of the day but some parts of the day time did move so some improvement. That night though sleep was very bad.
Day 4. Felt a bit tired but was telling myself I am a non-smoker. Day was ok, bit strange feeling but I felt I had achieved it. That night slept like a baby.
Addiction over.
If you have only one cigarette, even one puff then you need to start all the way at the beginning as you need to be free from nicotine to withdraw from it. Having a little or only one cigarette takes you back to the beginning. It may not take 72 hours to recover from one cigarette but perhaps add another day.
Cold turkey is the easiest way. If you have a serious flu for a week it is was worse than nicotine withdrawal.
I smoked 35 years and after finally realizing how easy ti was was so sorry I did not just do it earlier. All my attempts had been half hearted. I heard stupid thing like it as more addictive than heroin, that it could take months to get over, that you needed a patch. All these voices were worse than tobacco company advertising. They made me believe it was so hard to give up. It isn't.
Just do it, one weekend and the hard work is done. Forget excuses, forget claims this or that works. It just takes one to be grown up and do it.
