Chantix! I love that drug, because it actually works for people who want to quit smoking. (Smokers make me work harder, so I'm all for them quitting)
It blocks something in the brain that is related to the addictive aspect of smoking. It also does not interact with other drugs, and has few side effects.
They are not marketing it to consumers yet, but your doctor should be aware of it.

Good luck if you're quitting smoking.

If Pfizer is "talking" about it, it may not be approved yet. Check their web-page.

It is supposed to help people stop smoking, but they think it will help with other addictions, like drinking.
