Champix

Hi. I have been a 40 cigarette a day smoker for the last 45 years, so when an equally die hard friend told me he had quit with Champix, I was skeptical. He was under pressure from his family to quit while I was under mp pressure, I wasn't sure myself that I wanted to quit. Got the Champix anyway and started.
My observations: From day 6 one stops smelling the tasty tobacco smoke so smoking is like inhaling warm air. Kept smoking out of sheer habit without enjoying the smoke the way I used to.
Am on day 15 now, started the Maintenance Pack, still smoke about half of what I used to. At times I forget to smoke, as when watching a movie or a match when usually a movie would take me a pack to get through. No urge to smoke, just have to break the 'reaching for a smoke' routine. Have decided not to stop entirely but smoke 2 or 3 cigarettes a day from now on.
