Is this Chantix by Rx or is it OTC? How expensive is it?
Do you get oral satisfaction cravings (like eating)?
I think ....... I wanna quit, ........ soon.

With the Chantix it doesn't bother me to be around another smoker. The nicotine part of it is blocked by Chantix. Today is day 6 and I have had no physical craving at all today. Yes, there's the hand oral thing to contend with. And personally I'd rather gain a bit of weight I know I can lose than gain me some COPD that will never go away. Chantix is around 260.00 (prescription only) I think for 30 days of treatment. Most insurances now cover it. It's expensive but worth every penny of it. The doctor that orignally prescribed it for me was a bit duh...she said think of how much you spend every month on cigarettes. Save your money and buy the Chantix. Ummm...If I saved the money from not smoking than I wouldn't need the Chantix would I?
Also, the company that makes Chantix also offers various assistance programs.
