Johnathan, I smoked for 40 years and if it weren't for Chantix I would still be smoking. I am a firm believe in taking Chantix to stop smoking. It's the only med on the market that actually does what its supposed to do. I've recommended Chantix to family and friends and will continue recommending the medication to anyone who wants to kick the habit. I can't imagine why your urges haven't lessened. If you're currently taking medication along with Chantix that could be the reason why your unable to curb the smoking. Are you using the Chantix online support? Please continue taking the medication as prescribed and talk with your doctor. Good Luck!View Thread
