So I am about a week into taking Chantix because I really want to quit smoking. Has anyone here ever used it? tried it? Did it work? Did if fuck with your head like its doing to me?
Chantix
- Thread starter RedKilla
- Start date
nope... I took those lozenges for years then developed an allergy to them.. smoked on and off for a very long time.. Switched to a vape pen and was most successful with that , 7 years now.. I'll still buy a pack here and there, but maybe one a year, and never actually have more than a few..
I'm a big fan of the VUSE ...

Careful with the chantix. That shit will fuck with some people and they can't take. My wife did not tolerate at all. I manned up and just quit 20 years ago. I went cold turkey and a sleep aid for 3 days. Definitely stayed away from people so I didn't accidently kill someone. After 72 hours it is a mind game as the physical addiction is over.
Never tried Chantix, know it worked for some people without side effects. I've been smoking and chewing since I was 18, 36 now and the best thing I did was switch to American Spirit roll your own tobacco from Parliament's then to a vape. I noticed strange withdrawls going from mainstream cigarette brands to American Spirit but the tobacco was so much better I knew by taste alone that I wasn't getting all the chemicals the name brand smokes had in them. Was mostly tobacco free for about 4 years other than a pack of smokes here and there when I went out drinking. Found out my lungs really don't like vaping, but I chain vaped because I wasn't getting the same effect out of it as I do tobacco. Now, I would recommend a vape that didn't use a lot of fluid for any newcomers looking to quit. The smaller vapes that use nic salts with a higher nic content would be ultimately better for your lungs, even though vaping isn't bad for them to begin with unless you're doing it wrong. Only downside to the smaller, higher nic vapes is you can't fill your bathtub up with fog while you're taking a deuce.

I wish you all the best on your quitting journey.
I, like Wiz, went cold turkey about 13 years ago after smoking on and off for about 10 years. I always told myself I was just a social smoker but if that was the case I was way too social.
I had a few bad surfing sessions where I coudlnt breath and that was enough for me to want to quit.
I also had to stay out of bars for almost a year. A few beers in and I was craving cigarettes without the will power to say no.
The first few months were the hardest but it got easier as time when by.
Now, if I smell cigarettes I get sick just from the smell.

It's good to quit sooner, rather than later. My approach was to... never start, but that's just me.
I would knock it off. Grab your sack and the contents from your wife, put on the big boy pants and proclaim an enough is enough. Then after a while you will wonder why you ever smoked. If a heart attack, stroke, or cancer doesn't scare the shit out of you, look for the motivator that does. ��
Cause a heart attack, stroke or cancer doesn't happen to people that don't smoke. LOL. And jet vaginas are not allowed to use the phrase "Grab your sack" hahahahahaha!
You know what?. I had a seat belt jam one time and I could not get out of my car. I had to drive to a friends house so they could cut the seatbelt.
I kenw a person on that shit they are no longer with us he suffered from depression and then started that to help him quit. One month later he took his life. he also said it gave him really bad dreams and it made him more depressed. iI would stay away from that shit
Yeah, you have to remove the health element as a motivator, it's a cruel world when it comes to that stuff, healthy people who never smoked or drink getting cancer or having strokes, see it all the time.. Then you have my hillbilly Irish family who drinks and smokes and eats terrible and they still live into their 90's .. It's all a crap shoot.. If you don't mind the risks and enjoy something then do it, but if you want to quit something for whatever reason boy you better have a good purpose or quitting just because ends up being a long string of tomorrows and another days..
I really enjoyed smoking, and generally speaking I don't care what people think of me or am easily influence.. I quit on the account of I would rather spend that money elsewhere and that's about it.. Cigs were like $3.78 a pack when I quit, now they are up to $9.00 , it's highway robbery ..
I worked with a guy who's brother who lived for years on deaths door awaiting a liver transplant, finally the day came through and he lucked out and managed to get a new liver.. a year later he came down with liver cancer and that liver he received was the death of him as the cancer spread throughout .. That's why I take a view of well when you number is up it's up , still look both ways before you cross the street anyway ..

I did, denied.. you got any other ideas...?
I'm 9yrs smoke free, I have also been flying RC helicopters for 9 years.. the two are related.. #HeliFunding
Oh , the other punk asses..
I also forgot.. The other motivator I had to quit smoking cigs was that around the time my degenerative disk disease reared it's ugly head.. 2 back surgeries later, shit ton of permanent nerve damage and 24/7 level 5-7 pain was a bit of a kick in the ass... they put me on meds for the nerve damage that just didn't make smoking as enjoyable.. and also as a result I haven't been able to drink any alcohol , none, zip .. nadda.. since that day.. That I do miss, I would kill to have a good wine with dinner once in a while or a cold brew.. if I dare do that I will end up really sick..
I spend my time trying to avoid the next surgery, and it's coming , just don't know when.. lol.. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the bad back club around here.. lol.

Glad to see, just like most of our forum threads, this one isn't getting off topic either. :highly_amused::highly_amused:
