I can't believe no one has mentioned this as it worked great for me...Zyban. I took the stuff for the two weeks before quitting (and believe me, my heart wasn't quite as into it as it should have been). By day 12 or so, I didn't even think about smoking, even though I still was. Day 14 quit & haven't had a smoke in four years. I think I took the Zyban for about a month & a half after my quit date. Warnings on Zyban:

It is an anti-depressant (Wellubutrin (sp?)). I am normally a happy person, but I was REALLY happy on that shit. Also, might horny, although from what the doc & I could figure I was in the minority with that little side-effect. I don't mean horny like an 18 year old, I mean horny like 100 18 year olds. I thought about nothing but sex all day long, and my wife had just had our first kid. She was impressed that I quit smoking but not impressed with my newfound zip.

I would highly recommend Zyban to anyone considering quitting. It was actually very easy to quit, painless. Good luck on your choice. You won't believe the extra money you'll have & how much better things are with smokes out of your life.

By the way, I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker of 17 years when I quit. Started at 14 & quit at 31.
