    Anyone tried this?? Chantix is the newest drug to help stop smoking. It targets the receptor sites in the brain that give you pleasure from nicotine.

    I have several patients who are on this and they say it makes cigarettes stink, taste bad and reduces the craving for them. One guy said he was a 2 pack a day smoker and is now down to 3-4 cigs a day.

    Anyone had any personal experiences with this??

    Putt, if you wouldn't mind--I'd appreciate some description of your experience with this. I really want to quit, & have tried many times. Maybe something like this would give me the edge I need? Did you take it to quit smoking, or for something else? How did it affect you, other than making cigarettes "stink" to you? I'd be willing to deal with some nausea & even some puking to get past the addiction.

    The patients at work say it makes cigs taste and smell funny and over time, you smoke less and less until it's easy to quit.

    If is made by Pfizer? If so, I was in the clinical trial. I did quit smoking. I may have been on the placebo, but the girlfriend at the time said I was much less of an asshole that time I quit than previous cold turkey attempts. I had zero side effects, except for the study nurses that were smokin' hot. Oh, it's been more than three years since I smoked a cigarette.
