Quitting Smoking

[awval999]

I work as an intern in a pharmacy and we've had lots of success stories with people taking Chantix. Ask your doctor about it.

I would go for regular gum and suckers if you like them. That worked best for me...

Lots of success stories? The drug is pretty new. I've got exactly one patient on it. Come to think of it, I should have seen him in follow-up by now. I wonder what happened. Perhaps he is smoking again and doesn't want to admit it. I'll have to pull his chart and maybe give him a call.

The study data does show an improvement compared to wellbutrin, but still not a great success rate. It isn't going to be my first-line choice any time soon. I'll want to wait out the early period for any adverse reaction reports.
