I honestly have no idea but it might be worth a shot. Congratulations on making the decision to quit!!!!

Thank you. I've tried to quit at least 20 times in the last year using nicotine patches, electronic cigarettes, nicotine gum, basically everything you can buy. I've heard some bad things about Chantix but surely it can't be as bad as smoking.

let me know if it works i want to stop so bad i hate it but always smoke again i tryed the fake cigs works for a fews days then i went back i have heard great thing bout it my mother in law is gettin it but she dont have md

Believe me when I tell you that I am sympathetic to your problem trying to quit smoking. BUT YOU MUST!!! Perhaps it would be best to stop looking for outside help, and doing this by yourself. The first thing is to not have any cigs where you can get at them. Make it as difficult as possible to find a smoke. I'm not sure if cold turkey is better than a little at a time, but make a decission and STICK TO IT!!! Maybe cutting the cigs in half and throwing away the other half might be a way to start. Give yourself a goal, but as tough as it may be to break the habit, thousands, if not millions of people have done it. There is no earthly reason why you can't be one of them.
How about, every time you crave a cigarette, instead, you drink a glass of water. That would be two plusses in your life at the same time.
If Joe Shmo down the street could give up smoking, why can't you? Well, there is no answer, because you CAN, you MUST and you WILL!!!!!
So start right away, and best of luck and keep us posted.

Kimeeib, I work with a man that smoked for 40 years and started Chantix. When he got home from work, he would always smoke on the porch before going in because they didn't smoke in the house. After about 3 weeks on Chantix, he got home one day and said he was tired and just didn't feel like smoking before going in the house, and hasn't smoked since and thats been about 5 years ago. I know several people that have quit using it and all of them say one day they just didn't want to smoke anymore, but after stopping the medicine, you have to still fight cravings every now and then. I think its worth a shot if it doesn't make me dizzy.

I never been a smoker. So no help for u there. But my dad was he said it's all bout your will power.. Good luck and hope u stop..

Man I wish you luck, I had tried everything to quit but nothing helped until I had a stroke in 2010 Sept 14th at 6pm and I have had no form of nicotine since. Hang in there it does get easier as time goes by I promise.

Best wishes to ya

I just read up on Chantix, I think some of the side effects, nausia ect are similar to what you would be getting on Meniere's and you probably wouldn't notice a big difference in that regurard. I would like to take off on coments made by Manaci and Manvertigo who both seemed very motivated when they quit. Manaci hints at switching behavors and rewarding one self as ways to stay motivated. I would suggest starting a jug and spend your weekly budget you spent on smoking to save for something you really want. I see you fish, how about a new motor or trailer for the boat. Perhaps a trip to some great fishing location? The truth is after reading the statistics (in my opinion) non of these aids are statistically significant above the placibo. You maybe increasing your sucess ratio by 10 or 15% with the drug. That is better than most products on the market but will probably not do the job on its own. Manvertigo had a stroke and I would not wish that on anyone but understand his motivation. Finding a partner to quit with or someone to help you keep accountable maybe another option. Nicotine is added to cigaretes which makes them adictictive, that is not fair. Good luck during this trial period, it takes 2 to 3 weeks to change behavior. Manaci is right you ..."CAN, you MUST and you WILL!!!!! That goes for you Kim too, I know when the time comes you will kick it also!

God Bless!

I might owe you an appology, I spoke with the third person in a row this week who has quite smoking with the help of Chantix! I am now getting a bit more excited about this helping people who smoke. My whole family with the exception of myself smoke and everyone wants to get off of them. Heck I wouldnt worry about the Meniere's it would be more important to kick the habit. I dont like cigarettes, my mom died of lung cancer as have other family memember who smoked, including my first wife.

I would just about do anything to see the smoking end in this country

Your buds!

How's it working for you? I hope you are having some success!!!

How are things going?? I hope well

So far I haven't quit, but they are starting to do nothing for me, which is what the medicine claims to do. It's supposed to block the nicotine receptors in your brain so you don't get the "buzz" from smoking. (I think thats what I read). Thursday will be 2 weeks on it so I think I'm gonna set my quit day for then and see how it goes. I've just recently had a bad cold and my lungs are still bothering me so smoking already is annoying me, lol. Thanks for all the support!

when I quit 6 years ago I remember the first week was the worst but after the first week it got so much easier !!!!! by the third week I hated the smell of smoke!!!!! Good luck!!!

Thank you Sammy. It might sound strange, but I already kinda hate the smell, especially first thing in the morning. Its just the physical habit of smoking that gets me.

I know its the whole *routine* but I smoked over one pack a day and by 2 weeks I was thrilled I quit!!!
