Social Smoker needs medication?

I have been quit for 10 days now. I was a social smoker, only smoking when at bars or when drinking at a party at a friends home. I would smoke maybe 10-15 cigarettes on a Friday or Saturday evening, no more than that. No cigarettes at all during the week, minus the occasional happy hour outing to the bar after a long day at work.

Do you think I need medication to help me with my quit? Medicating seems kind of over the top for a social smoker, yes? Maybe I could consider the gum when I'm out and about...?

Thoughts, suggestions, comments anyone? Thanks!

I absolutely dissagree. You are not addicted to cigarettes.  If you were able to easily go three or four days without smoking, then you did not have a nicotine addiction.  You definately were in DANGER of having cancer, i am really thankful to this site which is so helpful for smokers to find right way....

Chantix is a miracle drug!

Chantix works for me. I take half the dosage (1 pill per day versus 2), but that keeps me from getting nauseated and it is all I need to curb the urges. Expensive, but worth it to me. 2 weeks on Chantix (had about 6 months last year and then relapsed on cigars-ACK!!).
