has anyone done that or used anything else? Let me know what u used and how it worked for you. Thanks :)Don-t know about the pill but, my supervisor smoked three paks a day . Went to the hospital to have a growth removed above the roof of his mouth.

While recovering - he was put in the cancer ward. While there he witnessed people with parts of their jaws, teeth, parts of tongues gone, inoperable tumors in the throat, etc.

Scared him so bad - he quit on the spot and so did his wife.

Worked better than the pill.

I Had three good friends that smoked - They are all dead.

Give him all the help you can.you mean chantix?
OH HELL NO!
it seriously changes ppl. i have heard of ppl killing other ppl on it, trying to kill themselves and just becoming weird on it.
tell him not to do it!
there are other ways of quitting, try those first.I used both Wellbutrin and Zyban to quit smoking. Not at the sametime of course. They worked but I also kept those little star peppermints around and everytime I wanted to smoke, popped one of those in my mouth. Hard candy seems to help with the oral fixation of having a ciggarette in your mouth, I have no idea why though. Good luck to him and congrats...I work as a nurse and a patient i look after is on medication for controlling her huge smoking habit,it has not helped her,in fact she continues to full on chain smoke.A lot of ppl smoke out of habit and the need to have an oral fixation,hence some ppl turn to food as an oral replacement to smoking,this is just a transfer of addictions.
Quitting has to come from within ,whilst an external crutch may help,it-s up to the individual ability to self motivate and ppl around to support their efforts,never chastise them if they fall off the wagon,encourage and support .
