Smoking Cessation
"Thank you so much for Chantix!  I have bullous emphysema. My doctor suggested Chantix so I figured I would give it a try. It took a couple of tries before I finally was able to quit.  The fact that you continue to smoke for the first week of taking the medication makes it easier.  The Chantix is building up in your system while you are starting to notice the cigarettes that you are really not craving but smoking more out of habit.  It made me nauseous but not enough to stop taking it. February 10 of this year (2017) was 3 years since I quit smoking!  On warning:  DO NOT STOP TAKING IT SUDDENLY.   It caused MAJOR depression.  You have to come off of it gradually.  Would I do it again, though?  You bet your butt, I would."
