I am a smoker of fifteen years and lord knows that I have tried to quit, but each time failing. I want to quit, and for good, not temporarely. However, it is hard to do. I seem to make it about twelve hours and I'm at the store buying more. I have tried the patches and they give me a nicotine over dose. I have tried quit smoking homeopathic medicine, and that didn't work. The doctore reccomends chantix, but it's $120.00 per bottle. How am I going to afford that one? I am not sure. Has anyone tried chantix? Did it work for you? If not, what have you tried that worked for you? I know that it won't be easy, but it has to be done. For me and my children.

Since my hystorectomy in November this year I have been drinking tons of milk. I drink at least 4 glasses a day. It does not seem to detour the smoking at all.

I have never heard of Chantix. I have used Welbutrin to quit. It worked for me until I quit taking it. I took it for 4 months and didn't want to smoke at all. After I quit taking it I craved smoking again. I really need to quit smoking again. I am interested to see what has worked for others.

I tried Welbutrin and it caused me anxiety. The doctor said that this could be normal in people that don't have anxiety and took me off of it right away. The doctor said that Chantix is new and that it works better than Welbutrin, or any of the other's, but it is expensive and it is reccomended to take it for at least two months.

I used an inhaler that I got from the doctors, it was hard at first but the pain you go through gets less each day. I haven't smoked for over a year now, sometimes I think I would like a cigerette but I would never ever start again, as it hooks you.

What was the inhaler? Do you happen to remember the name of the inhaler? I would be willing to check into the product and see what the doc has to say about it. Thanks for your response.

ya its difficult to quit... you cant quit until if you yourself feel to quit!!.i used writben it worked for me it took nearly 5 months.... so try something first you should be controlled, think like because of you ,your child got it? he want to quit then you have to quit???
so be in control and take something to quit... you will be helped soon..
