Well, folks, according to my Chantix instructions today. However, when I got down to 2-3 cigs/week (the closest I've gotten to this point in my quit), I did it by finishing my last pack. So I'm going to take that avenue again. Unfortunately, that may take a while.
The Chantix seems to be making the cigs actually taste BAD! I have to relight a cig two or three times to finish it. I think this is a plus, but now it will push back my quit date that much farther.
Has anyone else used Chantix and experienced this phenomenon? For that matter, who can share their path down the Chantix road with me?
Thanks again to everyone for their interest in helping me.

Welcome back. You are doing the right thing by staying close. Chantix was designed to make the cigs taste bad. They help to take the edge off of smoking but you still have to do some work. I used Wellbutrin for several months. You have to set goals and relearn different behavior. There is no cure all in the pills. Read Study Blog you will be fine. No matter what just don't take another puff.
That is why we say NOPE
