I was a very heavy smoker for 36 years between 2 & 3 pkg a day. I started smoking when I was 20 and have never tried to quit - didn't want to quit. Today is 42 days smoke free for me using chantix and it really hasn't been that hard. The first couple of days aren't pleasant but not unbearable. Set your date and go for it.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
