Let me start off by saying, I know there is a alcohol pill and a smoking pill. I know someone who took the alcohol pill and if you drink it will make you throw up. I don't if the smoke pill works........I can tell you how I stopped smoking. I used the patch for a little nicotine to get me by and tapered to the smallest dose. The key for me was smoking herbal cigarettes (I believe they are called Extacy cigarettes). They taste like sh*t and they are all natural with no nicotine. They got me over the hump and I tapered off the patch fast. Being able to smoke something when I really needed one was the whole deal for me......They tasted bad and after the patch was over I had no reason to keep smoking. Head shops usually carry this kind of item. This really worked for me and gave me my health and body back. I smoked the herbals any time I wanted and before I knew it...I was nicotine free. Good luck.

It is an amazing product. I was a very heavy smoker and it worked very, very well. I mean I smoked A LOT! After 3 weeks I was done. I mean DONE!

The first week you take it and continue to smoke. You find the taste terrbile from smoking which helped as a deterent. Also, you didnt get the "HIGH: anymore. It curbed the cravings after 2 weeks. I tried to smoke but felt very ill when I did. After the 3rd week I was like screw it I dont even want a cig anymore. Didnt need the meds anymore.

It does come with a package to help you with counseling and a CD-ROM, but I never had to make one call.

If you/they are truly wanting to quit, it will help tremendously. I can not recommend it enough. I was skeptical myself, but not anymore.

I can this. In the UK its called Champix However its the exact same stuff. And yes it works, I smoked 40 a day, I went on these tablets and after 2 weeks I had given up totally, They are wonderful.
The only side effect I got was some vivid dreams but thats ok for the benifits I will get.

I had a headache the first couple of days but then nothing. Never had any of the other side effects. The person who recommended it to me never had any sides except a couple of days with a light headache as well.

Well worth it.

Just started my Chantix today

fingers crossed - got slight headache, a little vision issue, and slight stomach upset. But not too bad.

I was up to 15 during week and probably at least pack on weekends. Been smoking for 18 years.

Lots of scary side effects in the news but going to give it a try.

Bro, first off, I want to commend you on your decision to quit. That shit is ROUGH! Now, I'm gonna tell you, first hand, about Chantix. I used it and it does make it easy to not smoke...while you are on it. As soon as you come off, the receptors in your brain that Chantix was occupying are now empty and the cravings come back with a vengeance. And lets not even get started with the depression. I mean, like everyone, I get a little blue from time to time but while on this, I couldn't shake it. What used to last a day or so now ended up being like weeks of depression. That's when I decided to cut the treatment short.
I was really pissed after that and made up my mind to just quit cold turkey, come what may. By chance, I was looking for new apps for my iPhone and came upon a quit smoking hypnosis app. It was cheaper than a pack of smokes here in NYC (9.50!!!) so I gave it a shot. Guess what? It worked after ONE SESSION!!!! It's a combination of binaural beats, hypnotism and subliminal messages. I haven't smoke since Easter and I'm not tempted to smoke. It's really amazing. I've been meaning to make a thread about this but I just forgot.
Anyways, I never believed in hypnotism or any of that stuff before but I'm now a HUGE fan. Oh and you don't need and iPhone to get the sessions. You can download the MP3 from Maxkirsten.com Whatever you decide, good luck and please be mindful of that drug you are taking! There have been class-action lawsuits all over the place surrounding it. Peace.

Smoker for 10 years, took it for 3 months, stopped smoking, plain & simple.

3 years now, never felt better.

Although, this time when I did try to quit, I "wanted to quit" that's was the X factor for me

Cheers bro, I hope you quit
