Thinking about the new medication I think it's called Chanix or something like that... Has anybody tried it? Does it work// I understand you are still smoking while you are taking the drug...With me it's not a health thing, its a social thing, just can't smoke anymore ANYWHERE... So what else do you do, but QUIT... the whole idea SCARES ME TO DEATH!!!!!!!

Not smoking is great! I can't believe I once used to light a roll of chemicals, stick it under my nose and suck on it. Pretty gross. I'd suggest you get the patch, You don't smoke while on it- you apply the patch and call yourself a non-smoker.
You'd be surprised at how many people secretly think you stink (your hair, breath, clothes, home, car) right now, so don't be afraid to quit.

Eight months and 22 days ago, I was thinking the same thing you are. I tried the patch previously, to no avail. I tried wellbutrin previosuly, to no avail. This time, I did it cold turkey and found a few non-smoking, supportive friends I could call and vent to or go out with when I really felt like the cigs were gonna kick my ***. It wasn't easy, but if you're truly ready, it will happen. Best of luck from someone who knows you can do it!

It scares you because it is an addiction. Don't take medication. Just take it day by day. Start cutting them out until your down to one a day, then just try to keep your hands busy. Find a project or hobby and don't hang out with people that smoke. I bought a bag of tootsie roll pops and everytime I wanted a cigerette, I would eat one of those.

Yes chantix works. you can still smoke when you take it. it actually makes you dislike the smell and taste of a cigarette. it will stop your actual mental cravings, but not the actual "habit" of smoking. so the hardest part is to still try and find something to do with your hands, but you won't crave them anymore.
it does work different with different people, but you should be smoke free within 2 weeks.
good luck.
