I’m delighted to report that my husband Arthur is on his third non-smoking day with the help of Chantix! This is unprecedented; he’s tried everything on the market; patches, pills, tapes, acupuncture… you name it, he tried it.

Chantix is the only thing so far that has made him just not want to smoke. He and his sister started on the same day: May 6th. She’s still having a puff or two a day, but he’s past that stage. Neither of them stopped smoking after the first week. It was a gradual thing, and before they knew what happened, they were smoking less and liking it less. Pretty soon Arthur was down to a puff in the morning and one at night; less than half a cig! I guess that’s when he decided to go cold turkey.

Now, the caveat: The pills make him [and his sister] sleepy and nauseous and sometimes edgy. They are both willing to take them, though, because of the results. OH, and two other sisters quit on Chantix…!

I can’t wait until he can get off the drug and back to his old self… but I’m very grateful for modern medicine!
