I have been Smoking for years and I am at about 1 and a half packs a day. I have 3 young children and even though they do not live with me and I do not ever smoke in front of them, they still know I smoke, what kind of role model does that make me? I want to be around a long time and see me kids grow up so that is why, after many attempts to quit on my own, I have decided to try Chantix. So this is Day 1 and I am hoping for the best. I decided that I would use this forum as an aid to help and a log to see how it goes. If anybody has any advice it would be appreciated. I will update my progress in a couple of days.

Did you have any luck with it?

I know it works well for some people and not so for others, which is normal for any cessation method.

Smoking is also a very hard habit to get out of doing, on top of the withdrawals, you have to deal with the habits you've formed doing it for so many years.

The good news, however, is that not all children pick up on such habits from their parents. My ex-husband and I both smoked, when our son was young and he actually grew up to completely hate it and refused to have anything to do with them.
