I have just started Day 1 of Chantix. One thing I have noticed is when I think about have a cig, I have this inner feeling/battle (for want of a better words) of I do want the cig then the next second I think I don't. I am smoking during this first week then on day 8 no more. I have a couple of friends that is using Chantix and they say it is working for them. So I am feeling positive about this. It is nice to know I am not alone in this!!! Good luck to everyone that is quitting!!!

You are definitely not alone on this. If you’re anything like me after day four you will notice that your smokes aren’t doing the job they used to. It was really kind of weird. I tasted them in a different way and towards the end of the first week I only smoked a few of them because I was allowed to. I’m on day four of my quit week. Best of luck to you!! You can do it!!
Marguerite J,
Hi! And welcome to you!! It really thrills me when a new quitter joins us here.
I quit using Chantix over 6 months ago. It is the only thing that has ever gotten me to stop for even one day!! I smoked as normal for the first week. On about day 5 I decided to try cutting back. It worked!! Then came day 8, my quit day. I chickened out. I smoked 8 cigarettes that day. Got up on day 9 and it was then that I decided I wasn't going to smoke that day. Got up out of bed and laid right back down on the sofa!! I stayed there the entire day!! After that I knew I could do it. I was so scared that I would fail once again. But I made it!! It was easier than I thought it would be. But without the Chantix I would never have done it. I have no willpower. The Chantix gave it to me. I kept a positive attitude and had lots of people cheering me on.....my family.
You are going to become a quitter very soon. It is the best decision you could ever make for yourself. You will soon be able to inhale deeply without coughing. It feels wonderful!!
Again, welcome and keep us posted as to your progress!!
