Greetings,
My stop date is November 1st (anniversary of my military retirement) & I'm on the starter week with Chantix. Will drop in my experiences & suggestions. Tried the patch 14 years ago & was able to go 6 months, but let stresses get best of any recovery attempts.
The routine & behavior adjustments seem to be the things that will need to be overcome.

Yep, second hand smoke as they say are more dangerous than first hand smoke! I also saw on television that young kids develop the need and want to smoke or drink when they are not accompanied especially during meal times..

Thanks for sharing!!!
