I know two non-pilots who took Chantix and they didn't have anything really
good to say about it, they are both still smokers and quit taking it because
of side effects.

You don't need drugs to quit!!! Just QUIT!!! I am Going on my 5th year using
the cold turkey method was 3 packs a day... It's called being mentally
strong and stable.

Also read the side effects of them drugs smoking is healthier even the FAA
seems to agree.

Once on a ferry flight I told an aircraft owner he goes or I go he was
stinking bad like cigarettes was emanating from his pores in the end he went
home I flew airplane alone. I swear there were 10 to 15 cigarette buts out
side his car window.

Anthony won't be able to display his superior knowledge until he steals a
copy of the Chantix add on to MSFS and plays with it.

Chantix is the best of the stop smoking drugs... I have had a high
percentage of people quit smoking with Chantix, which has not happened
with anything available prior to this drug... The FAA has unrealistic
pharmaceutical standards... What they demand is a drug that has no
side effects... There is no such chemical... Even water has side
effects... People drown in water...

From the Chantix website.

Side Effects and Safety

What are the possible side effects of CHANTIX?

The most common side effects of CHANTIX include:

nausea
sleep disturbance (trouble sleeping, or vivid, unusual, or strange dreams)
constipation
gas
vomiting

Some patients reported changes in behavior, agitation, depressed mood,
suicidal thinking or behavior when attempting to quit smoking while
taking CHANTIX. If you have any of these symptoms, or if your family or
caregiver observes these symptoms, please tell your doctor immediately.
Also tell your doctor about side effects that bother you or that do not
go away.

These are not all the side effects of CHANTIX. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist for more information.

Use caution driving or operating machinery until you know how quitting
smoking and/or using CHANTIX may affect you.

I agree...sort of.
I have seen thousands of people with debilitating disease from smoking and
its not the lung cancer I find the most ugly. Its the vascular disease.
At the time I quit 'bout 6 years ago I realized I too am gonna get old.
The big question was if I kept up the "death sticks", what kind of old was it
gonna be.

I like my peripheral vascular perfusion and so does my lovely wife (if-ya-
know-what-I-mean) and the benefits it provides.
That really was the bug that got me to quit. The heart attacks, cancers and
strokes don't scare me as much as living with the horrors of PVD.

Maybe thats just me.

For all of you still smoking, never give up trying to stop. It can happen.

The FAA has unrealistic medical standards in general.

Well, you would'nt pass the exam, so there must be some value. Besides, how
would you know, not being a pilot, flight surgeon, or physician?

I don't know if I'd pass the exam or not.

Believe it or not, it's possible to know a lot about medicine without being
any of these things.

Not to mention the constant correction of and argueing with the CFI

You don't understand because you're an ignoramus.

As an FAA AME I can categorically state that you would not pass the exam for
even class III.

You have no way of knowing whether I'd pass the exam or not.

Additionally, most doctors refrain from putting their reputations on the line
with Internet diagnoses.

I didn't know you spoke for "most doctors".

I know exactly what I wrote.

Don't worry, you'll never need that information.

[Mxsmanic]

Steve Foley writes:

Then perhaps you can explain why you called me a "bad eye," as I don't
understand it.

As you've proven time and again, you are refractory to explainations.

Anthony can't afford to have a window cut in his stomach. To see anyhting
he just looks through his penis.

I don't know why it matters if you have a bad eye or not with your head
jammed straight up your ass, you need a window cut into your stomach to see
out anyway.

Ahhh. That explains why Anthony is so short sighted.

Retarded man-children can not pass the FAA Exam, it is all in the manual.

Just FYI: Anthony the Arrogant will pounce on a minor typo or
grammatical error, and rather than point it out, will attempt to
make you look stupid by simply making oblique references instead.

In this case, he's going infantile on you for using "you're" where
"your" might have been more appropriate. He's done this in many a
forum, so ... nothing new to see here, folks. Move along.

I know he was just thrilled when he grew his first pubic hair. What a heart
breaker it must have been to find out he was expected to urinate through it.

viperdoc. serious question here. you've seen 80,000 meaningless posts
from the manic one. do the patterns of erratic nonsense he pours out
match it with any syndrome?

one of the australian nutters was successfully diagnosed by a couple
of pilot medicos just noticing the patterns in the responses.
from my reading they got his syndrome bang on the money.
it made effectively handling quite easy.

I'm repainting my old faithful wooden propeller tomorrow. once that is
done and in balance the new baffle components I made two weeks ago
will be installed. I then complete my annual maintenance and I'll
break into the 3 drums of avgas I have in the hangar, it's getting on
for winter here, so I'll do my bit for some local global warming.

I love flying with a freshly painted prop in cold weather :-)

I'd say the one who claims not to understand is the one looking stupid.

Just my opinion.

Okkay, I gotta ask: does the fresh paint make a difference, aside from
looking good?

As for flying in the cold weather...wel, I guess I'll find out about that in
several months. Hopefully, the winterization kit on my airplane will help
with cain sealing, something others have reported to be something of an
issue with the Zodiac.

You've got it all backwards. Fresh paint spinning around like that dries
*really* fast.
