Smoking Cessation
"I&#039;ve been taking Chantix for nine days, after having been a  2.5 - 3 pack-a-day smoker for 44 years.  Because of the length and strength of my addiction, I supplemented Chantix with smoking cessation hypnotherapy.  I have had no side effects.  I&#039;m terrified of gaining weight, so the hypnotherapist includes suggestions such as &quot;I will not snack&quot; during my sessions.  He also includes &quot;no irritability&quot; suggestions. I&#039;ve  taken to drinking diluted grapefruit juice instead of diet soda.  I&#039;m down to seven cigarettes a day.  I still have triggers - like sitting at the computer - but, overall, cutting down on the way to quitting has been easier than I anticipated."
