Since Chantix acts upon pleasure receptors, it seems unlikely that you would get much pleasure from smoking weed or much of anything else. You may, however, kill yourself...a side effect of Chantix.

oops double post

Is this a cold day in Hell? Kent thinks some smokers might wish to quit smoking? It's good to hear he's making a big step(for him) in the right direction. As far a quitting the only thing I might wish to add is, don't just keep telling yourself you are going to make it.Tell yourself the choice has been made,you no longer smoke, that it's a done deal!

Some people says it's mind over matter, but I find it to be not so true. Insomnia is a one of the major side effects from quitting. Less known nausea and vomiting.

How much does it cost and how long did it start to take effect? Any age limitations or health restrictions? Who is the manufacturer?

i used chantix 10 months ago and have been smoke free ever since. It also has helped me with my drinking , i used to drink rather large quantities of alcohol roughly 10-12 shots of vodka or such per night, now i find myself having problems even trying to just sit down and have 1 or 2 drinks.It really has just become unenjoyable

Is there any one else out there taking Chantix for drinking? I easily quit smoking 30 years ago, but like my wine every night. Some evenings I drink 5 glasses over a period of a few hours & would like to cut back. Am in my 9th week of Chantix & notice being more mentally alert while drinking. However, still drink 2-5 glasses an evening except for a few evenings of none. Sure would like to hear some drinking success stories.
