Hello all, I'm a new member of this group and this community, and I've set my quit date for April 20th. I've been a smoker for 13 years and have tried quitting more than a few times in fact. The longest I went was nearly a year but a job change and a whole host of new co-workers who were smokers enticed me back. That was two years ago. This time I really need to quit because now all of my friends don't think I can, because I've tried and tried and given up. I'm going to try out chantix and see how it goes and hopefully It'll stick this time. I'm actually quite optimistic this time.
