Don't believe the Hype

I have been seeing a lot of news coverage about how chantix will make you jump off a bridge or at least make you think you should jump off a bridge. Don't believe this, it is just an attempt by the news to make a story out of this very helpful drug. It might even be big tobacco trying to play down the effectiveness of chantix. It would not surprise me one bit, you know this drug could put a real beating on the tobacco companies. I am sure they will do every thing in there power to stop the drug(ie. making it sound dangerous and getting the FDA to ban it).

I have had an google alert on chantix. For those of you who do not know what a google alert is, this is it. You give google a topic and every day it will search for new news about that topic and then email you the link. So any way I have been receiving alerts every day for 2 months and 9 out of 10 are about how bad chantix is. They should be praising this super drug. People should be careful about what they take but I have to say from experiences Chantix is OK.

40 days

I have not smoked in 40 days and I am doing great. I have been working out and I am starting to get a lot more energy, but its still hard to wake up. I have even went out and had some drinks and did not smoke.
