elvenkayt	They have a new medicine called Chantix that is supposed to be much more successful than Zyban. If you're wanting to go drug-free, try a few months of hypnosis sessions. I have several friends who successfully quit smoking through hypnosis, but you have to go many times to get the life-changing results you want. Unfortunately, there is no 'magic Bullet' to stop addiction. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

N L	I don't know the name of it, but my sister-in-law quit 5 weeks ago, with the help of a medication prescribed by her doctor. She'd tried everything, and nothing else had worked for her. I'd talk to your doctor and see what he'd recommend. And good luck to you - I know it's a tough habit to break, but you'll feel so much better when you quit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chef.jnstwrt	I smoked for 13 years and have been smoke free for 5 years. The patch worked for me. It took several attempts for it to really work so don't give up if you slip and need to try again. First time, I quit for a year with the patch and then picked it up again for no reason really. The next time it only lasted a few months and the last time...well, that was the last time I hope! I feel so much better physically and mentally. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

toots	Chantix works by blocking the Nicotine receptors in the brain. It is a dual-pronged program, as there is free support online or by phone when you begin to slide a bit and need someone to talk to. I took only five doses of Chantix before I was able to quit, but I stayed on it for 30 days until I got into the habit of NOT smoking. Most doctors recommend the full 3-month course of medication. I quit in April, 2007 and still have cravings once in a while, but they aren't severe and pass quickly. It helped that I was able to identify the triggers that I associated with smoking, such as getting in the car, when having a cup of coffee, after a meal, or with a beer.

Joseph B	My husband seems to have quit smoking easily. He has used the medication Chantix you are seeing advertised just now. The drug comes with instructions about a stop date, an increasing the med period and then you continue for about 10 more weeks. Ask your doctor about this. He also chewed lots of Cinnamon gum!
