Hey Bobby, quitired pharmacist here. I smoked for about 40 years. tried Chantix and quit.
I had tried patches,hypnosist, pills, etc but the Chantix worked.

Some side affects: Weird, vivid dreams and the one most alarming is increased suicidal thoughts. So if suicide has EVER crossed your mind, don't go on Chantix.

My vote: Chantix does work. Good luck and hang in there.
