I quit smoking 18 days ago,using a new medication called Chantix.It is not impossible,even with stress and chronic pain... ; ; ; ; ; RALPH
I sweat it out with the gum - and then it took me two years to quit the gum!
This med is neat, I'd never heard of it before . . .
"The good news for a smoker is that Chantix is the fourth new medicine by Pfizer to receive FDA approval this year. Pfizer scientists researched a specific molecule for smoking cessation that target the nicotine receptor. Chantix was approved based on six clinical trials involving more than 3,500 cigarette smokers. Chantix acts on the brain in areas affected by smoking in two ways: by providing some of the effects of nicotine to ease withdrawal symptoms and by blocking the effects of nicotine if smoking is resumed."
Hi Ralph
Good for you
I quit March 2005 so nearly two years now. I used NRT patches for the prescribed 10 weeks, it was brilliant! Not one serious craving. I believe the key to succeeding lies in really wanting to quit.
Keep it up - don't be a stinky boy
Well done to Lynk too
Thank you all for your words of encouragement.I had thought that I would never quit,now I cant belive that I smoked,as the smell is repulsive!!!
