Spunkie Hi Linda, and YES I felt the same way you do. I honestly didn't think even the Chantix would work, it was just one more attempt for me....and I figured if I spent MONEY on it, that might help. But I'll be darned if those little pills don't honestly work! I haven't even been on them for 2 full weeks yet and I swear to you I don't CRAVE a smoke. I have passing thoughts, but the the mouth watering CRAVE! I'm very impressed and this has been by far the easiest quit for me.....one I hope lasts for the rest of my life. I smoked for 25 years, that's way too long. Good luck to you my friend!
