I just wanted anyone wanting to quit smoking...
there is a new drug called Chantix, it blocks the brain receptors from craving the nicotine.
I have been smoking for 25 years and have tried to quit over 7 times.
I am in my 3rd week of a 4 week treatment and have not had one puff.
I feel good, and without the craving, there is no replacing with food or candy, so I have not noticed a weight gain.
I do think about cigs often, but we can brush off a thought a lot easier than a craving!
Oh yeah, my insurance covered it, so a 4 week would cost $110. w/o ins. and I paid $35.00 since my ins. covered it. Can't hurt to call and ask your insurance if it is covered.
Good luck I hope you try it.
