    Quoted from Ockeyhead:

    No doubt once you quit cigarettes are disgusting. I have smoked for 30+ years & really need to quit. I'm 51 years old in great health/shape, but my one & only crutch is cigarettes. There are very effective ways to quit as one is Chantix. I refuse to take any medications due to the side-effects that are associated w/ that poison. Dizziness, suicidal thoughts & nausea, etc. are just a few.
    This is a well needed post just to motivate & have an idea how others have quit. So far the vaping method seems like a great alternative to weaning oneself from the control of nicotine. Thanks cottonm4, as I'll definitely be following this post throughout.

    I was an On-again off-again smoker for 20 years, and after a few short-lived smoke free intervals I finally decided enough was enough... I used Chantix successfully and have been smoke free for three years this August.... I do have one celebratory smoke at the York and Allentown shows but no more than that... works for me!!!

    I had no ill effects or crazy dreams with this drug. My sister used it successfully as well (pack a day smoker for 35 years), although she did have some wacky dreams. Iā€™m glad I used it, made quitting so much easier.

    Quoted from V4Vendetta:

    Ok I'll bite. Been smoking since 14 since my older brother who was 15 at the time he gave me a marlboro light to smoke and 25 years later I'm still smoking. I really want to quit and I heard alot of successful stories with chantix. What I want to know is all these side effects you guys are mentioning. What are they?

    I quit a nasty habit for good with Chantix... if you decide to do it... go the conservative route where you can still smoke while you're on the drug... I did that successfully and had NO SIDE EFFECTS WHATSOEVER... I'm 3+ years smoke free.

    My sister quit 6 months prior (she had been a smoker for 30+ years). The drug was a success for her as well, but she did complain of some very colorful dreams.

    I highly recommend the drug; tried the patch, nicotine gum, and cold turkey, these just didn't work for me.
