I am having such a hard time quitting smoking!! Does anyone know how long it takes for nicotine to leave your system? I have bought an e cig, tried and failed! Does Chantix have nicotine if I get a Dr appointment and start taking that? I'm just so discouraged and my last dietitian appointment is in November, so I really have to quit ASAP! Of course once I start smoking, I hear that you eat constantly! Ugh..... Any suggestions, please help! Thanks!

What's a "good" vape? I have tried many and they all seem to break after a few months. The last one I bought, literally got so hot that I couldn't even touch it, it would start smoking without me even turning it on!!! I paid $80 for that and I'm just tired of wasting my money at this point. If you could recommend a vape that will not continue giving me issues, I can try!

I used chantex. It was very easy to quit. I quit after the first week. I also bought a pack of cigarettes 3 months later (stupid decision) and went back to smoking. It's been a year and I have chantex again so I can quit for good. Good luck! My doctor also said if you are still urged to smoke get the lowest patch of nicorette to help. I've never personally tried it.

I didn't know you could take Chantex longer than 3-4 weeks. Good to know. Also if you try to smoke on chantex you get extremely nauseous. I even started gaging. Wellbutron did not help me at all.

Wondering if anyone who had success on chantix was already taking medication for anxiety or depression? The doc who prescribed it to me said it wouldn't be an issue but it is worrying me.

My doc also said I didn't need to quit for the sleeve but encouraged me to do so. I guess everyone's dr is different!

I'm on Effexor and my PCP has already offered the Chantex before, so I'm assuming it is ok to take both.

I'm an advanced vaper (~6 yrs) so I'm out of touch concerning good starting kits. YouTube has some great reviews though, and if you watch a few, you may find the best system available right now for beginners. Pete Busardo, igetcha69 are the two most popular reviewer channels who are trustworthy in their reviews. Hope this helps.

Chantix did give me some weird side effects mentally, and finally, I did it cold turkey. The quitting part was so awful that I made a decision to NEVER go through that withdrawal again. My sister had a half lung removed, cancer, and resumed smoking in 1 month. PLEASE quit!
