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.

DAFS.

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.

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.

From the Chantix website.

What are the possible side effects of CHANTIX?

The most common side effects of CHANTIX include:

constipation

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

These are not all the side effects of CHANTIX. Ask your doctor or

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