For the record, I used Chantix. It worked for me. For many it does not. It's the mindset of quitting that is most important, whatever method you use. I used an ecig for a while. I've heard they've improved since then but it was more a novelty when I used it and quite expensive back then.
My wife smokes to. Still does but she's cut waaay back and never smoked as much as me anyway. It doesn't bother me, in fact I like the smell. A couple times I've even tried a puff or two and while the smell is still good, the taste IS NOT!
That's what Chantix does (although that is well out of my system three years later!) it blocks the pleasurable taste of the tobacco. However you get to that point of cigarettes not tasting appealing anymore, you got it made!
Just do it. When you can get outside and do stuff, stay active, in a couple weeks it'll get easier. Hang tough during this snow event! Being cooped up is tough but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! After a week it gets easier and easier. They claim a craving lasts for ten minutes. That's ten minutes of active resistance then you can relax a little till the next one hits. Try not to compensate with another vice! Try just making it though one craving at a time, ten minutes... a big glass a water can help. It gives you that full feeling without adding any calories, etc. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! We're all on your side Beau.
