Here's the main website for Chantix from the manufacturer Pfizer:

Where you will find tons of information on the drug and its usage.
The site says that most people will need to continue the drug for around 12 weeks, this of course will vary depending on how wel it is working for you and what your doctor recommends.
I will tell you from my own experience that if the plan says 12 weeks do the 12 weeks. They have studied this drug long and hard and when they say 12 weeks they know more than we do. Stick to the 12 weeks and you will be more successful. Your mind and old habit will tell you you don't need it anymore, just like the same thing for picking up that first smoke after you have stopped (one won't hurt, I can stop anytime I want) We all know that is a lie. This is the first time I have stuck to it and its been since Sept and I have not cheated one time. I feel good. The only thing I got from it was about 20 extra pounds and that's beginning to go away now. Good luck in your quitting efforts.
