   I hate to be a shill for pharma but one of my friends went on Chantix and the results seem incredible to me.

   If I recall correctly the clinical studies put it at 50% success rate or higher depending on how many weeks you continue the regiment.

   From the outside looking in it looked like it was way less effort and mental strain than other forms of quitting. They basically started taking the drug and by the end they just didn’t want cigarettes anymore.

   For those of you looking to quit nicotine, I think looking toward medical solutions is the way to go. It’s too bad our medical system has incentivized shyness around finding medical solutions.

      It gave my grandmother strokes. She never smoked again, and was still around, but never quite the same. She told me once, "I miss smoking every day. I loved it so much."
