I smoked for for 25+ years about a pack a day. I was also overweight, very typical for a male approaching his 60's. My doctor asked me to try Chantix. I did and while I would not say it ways easy, it wasn't terribly hard either. On my quit day that was it. I didn't smoke again.
The thing is, it is expensive. At the time ( 3 years ago) it was about $600 for the 90 days of meds. That's what I was spending in cigarettes anyway. Six months after my quite date I a had the confidence to start a weight loss program. A year later I had shed 1/3 of my body weight.
Now at 61, I'm lean, mean, and . . . ughhh. . . forgetful?
