A wicked case of bronchitis made it too painful to smoke so I followed it up with some nicotine losenges for a time. All goes well even in stressful change of routine scenarios.

I tried all the help aids in the past including the inhalers and pills. Some quit smoking pills in the past were found to be very dangerous.

IF anyone tries using Chantix let me suggest that you may experience a shot gun effect.
IT not only blocked the nicotine receptors but it also seemed to block the effect of coffee, narcotics both natural and reverse molecule synthetic and perhaps other things that one might potentially enjoy, however I do not know if it would block the effect of mariquana or alcohol.

I think Chantrix is more like a shotgun than a nicotine specific neural receptor blocking drug. Only the drug company has done the rather good study on this drug but this possible shot gun effect was never mentioned in their literature.

If this is true this info might be valuable for other addictions.
