Smoking Cessation
"I am a very grateful 43 year young woman.  I quit smoking for the 1st time after smoking for 24 years.  I was having an elective surgery and my surgeon said I had to quit 14 days before my procedure. Which I ended up quitting 12 days before. He nicotine tested me the day of my procedure to be sure I haden&#039;t smoked.  I let him know it had only been 12 days, and I was able to have my procedure!  I began taking Chantix on 3/27/08 and by the next morning they already tasted bad.   I had my last cigarette at 7am on 3/30/08.  I took Chantix for 30 days and have never craved or smoked again. It&#039;s been 7 years and 8 months.  When I think back its hard to imagine ever smoking.  Which my seem crazy since I smoked over half my life.  The love of my life always tells me it&#039;s hard to even imagine that I was a smoker and he would of missed us if I was still a smoker.  Since he would of never pursued me if I smoked.   I only had 2 side effects during those 30 days.  I was nauseous for about 20 minutes after I took the medication and Vivid dreams. Thank you Chantix for giving me a life that I would of never had if I still smoked!"
