Coming up 2 years quit, after using Chantix (aka Champix in UK)..
I was totally a hardcore fully-addicted smoker, who would smoke cigarettes I found on the ground if I was really skint..
The Chantix really did stop me wanting another cigarette, and as I weaned off it I just learned to do something else when a smoking craving/situation came up. If you don't smoke, then the feeling of wanting to smoke goes away.
Sure I might get a couple of times a week when I could really do with that bump, but I'm so happy that I am able to not give into it.
All the cliches are true:
You really do have to want to give up ( more than you want a cigarette),
It DOES get easier the more times you don't give-in.
When you get a craving it will go away within 5-10 minutes *WHETHER YOU SMOKE A CIGARETTE OR NOT*
That last one is you ticket out of it - fully understand that and you're90% of the way there. The other 10% is just - not - putting - the - thing - in - your - mouth - and - lighting - it.
