I was a smoker for over 20 years and tried everything . Chantix, Patches, etc.

Zyban was a miracle drug. You choose a day then smoke through the week leading up to it and then stop. When you stop, that's it. I stopped two and a half year ago and never went back. It was amazingly easy.

I tried Zyban, Wellbutrin, patches, gum, and even the electronic cigarrette . This last one helped a lot for about 7 months, but then i went back to smoking. Guess i will try again with no nicotine cartridges before surgery. Anybody kept smoking pre and post op?

I need to quite somkig too and have no idea how. I too have tried everything. any suggestion. HELP!!!!!!!!

I smoked for 8 years and ended up quitting by vaping. It wasn't difficult at all and I don't even crave cigs anymore. My sister has done it as well and she was a smoker for 14 years. You just have to find a vape shop near you which shouldn't be hard to find cause its a popular thing right now.
