Good for you! I'd been smoking for nearly 30 years and though I'd cut way down by the time I got into vaping, I just couldn't quit.

19 years for me and so far this chantix is something else, after a week i started smoking a little less, then the dose went up and now if i smoke i get sick to my stomach. Yesterday i smoked one on the drive to work and one on the drive home... that was it. I regretted it both times. I can't help but smoke when i drive, it sucks. I didn't smoke on the way to work today and i wanted to BAD!! Haven;t had one yet today ands it 1130pm but i'm stuck at work till 730am. Only when i have to drive is it hard though, Not sure if i gonna make it all night..... I'll be happy if i can just smoke less than i did yesterday though, come to think of it i had one right before bed so i smoked 3 yesterday......

Plus initial perscription with my insurance was 36 dollars and with a coupon from chantix site for $30 off i paid 6 bucks. Su[pposed to take it for 6 months though
 
Whatever the price.. it's your life man. Fight it like you would any enemy for it is your worst enemy. Don't let it kick your ass. Get mad.. hell, get mad at yourself for getting into the position you are in right now. Treat yourself bad.. starve yourself of smoke.. get even!!

Disclaimer: Forgive me for the pep talk but I want to help. Anyone who wants to quit gets my vote and my support. I smoke.. don't plan on quiting.. I'm the weak one here.

I hear you on the driving thing. That is where I feel the desire the most, it helps calm me and keeps the road rage down:D. Luckily, with my vaping, I can still feel like I am smoking.

I've mentioned that I will not give up the vaping, I am weaning myself off the nicotine though. I'm finding I enjoy the flavors of the vapors more than I feel the need for the nicotine. Right now, my favorite tastes like an Atomic Fireball. I'm contantly hitting on it.

I can no longer stand the taste of cigarettes. Even the smell is nasty. I now know how others felt around me after I had a smoke.
 
Cig smoke is extremely nasty. I think it is most offensive to ex-smokers. I can even smell it outside of stores where everyone takes their last hit and butts them prior to shopping.

Story: As a freshman in high school I hung out with my buds in a friends basement. The three of them smoked cigs and me my pipe. They kept their butts in a five gallon metal paint can in a closet. Prior to school one frigid day I hung my coat in that closet while we smoked and joked prior to school. It was far too late when we discovered the closet had become a smoke house from a hot butt. You wouldn't believe the essence of cig that permeated my nice corduroy coat and the looks I got when I wore it to school.
 
G`Day. Blizzard kept me home today... no whine. That coat was so seriously bad and ridiculously offensive I wore it a number of days before attempting to wash it.
It was so far out there lol.
 
Hey all. Been busy up to my neck for a while, so I haven't been reading nor posting at all.

Glad to hear people are kicking the smoking habit to the curb. It's a great present to give yourself and those around you. I've never smoked, which is a good thing with my serious asthma, because I'd likely be dead by now. I sure notice it when I'm near smokers though. Guess the asthma makes me hyper-sensitive to anything involving my lungs. Good luck guys! Don't give up for anything!
 
Relaxing day.. all snowed in. Shoveled some snow.. pushed a few stuck cars. Tomorrow will be the adventure. I have a two hour drive on snow packed state highways ahead of me just to get to work. ....I'm talking rural SW Kansas. I slide off the road it might be a day or two before another car comes along lol. Hold down the fort and have a good one.

Sorry to hear that man. I hate sick. Hope you shake it soon. ....and yes, I'm back. Two hour commute each way to work sucks but it is better than not working. At least the roads were half clear in places. The farther you go West and South from my home the less snow they received.

Isn't it odd that it always works out that way? Congrats anyway.

That reminds me of my first hourly employment. I worked myself up from $1.00 $1.50 cash an hour. I was happy... my employers was happy. They were so happy that I received a fifteen cent raise (up to minimum wage at the time) and was added to their books. I was thrilled with the raise until I realized I was making less money than I was prior.
 
The difference in being paid cash and then paying taxes after the raise. Good ole uncle sam caused me to make less money per hour. I wish now it had pissed me off to the point of quiting. Truth is... it was pretty good money for a freshman in high school.. even with the decrease. The problem is.. I'm still doing the same work 45 years later lol. I've been self employed for the last 40 years which means.. no vacation.. no sick leave.. no health care.. no retirement.. and no unemployment compensation. I am making a bit more than $1.65 an hour now lol but still.. not nearly enough to compensate myself with all the bennies one gets when salary or hourly for a large company. So... don't be the guy saying.. "he's got it made... he's his own boss".
