This was my conclusion after several attempts to give up cigarettes over a span of many years. I am now 79 days without a smoke. I'm here to tell ya, if I can do it you can do it. Soon to be 55 years old I smoked an average of two packs per day since I was about 15 or so. I asked for a scrip for chantix, took the chantix, got down to 5-6 cigs a day, and the chantix was gone and I was back to two packs a day in less than a week. Months later I got another scrip and was back to a half dozen or less cigs per day. One morning after my morning smoke, I realized that I had only two weeks left on my second go around with chantix. I got pissed, and it was almost like a divine intervention, but I knew at that moment that I was done. I quit the chantix three days later and never looked back. At my two week mark I drank way too much with a couple of smoking friends(not recommended) and never even thought about it. I sorta liked the second hand smoke, but the friggin ashtray made me want to gag!. This was a lot for me to try to say, but the point is KEEP ON TRYING someday something will throw your switch and you will say enough.
