Never heard it suggested before, but my ex-wife claimed grapefruit
juice helped curb her cravings. I don't get how that works, but in
this fight you need anything you can get that might work for you.
I don't smoke anymore, but the juice never helped me. I just got
tired of wheezing and hacking all the time. Good luck.
I just quit 5 months ago. It's my 3rd time. I'm using Chantix and would recommend it for anyone who's Dr says ok.
how does chantix work? pill? patch? does it curb cravings? make you sick when you smoke? Im pretty interested!
Chantex did it for me. I had absulutely no desire to smoke while I was taking it. Ask your doctor for a perscription.
Chantix is a prescription pill designed specifically to aid in stopping smoking. It interferes with the nicotine receptors. Here's the blurb from the chantix website:
"How is CHANTIX different from other smoking cessation products?
CHANTIX does not contain nicotine. It works in two ways. It targets nicotine receptors in the brain, attaches to them, and blocks nicotine from reaching them. It is believed that CHANTIX also activates these receptors, causing a reduced release of dopamine compared to nicotine.
It's recommended that you begin your CHANTIX treatment a week before you stop smoking completely. This gives CHANTIX a chance to build up in your body. You may smoke during the first week of your CHANTIX treatment, but you should stop smoking completely on Day 8 of your treatment. "
I've been quit for 5 months now.
I just stopped on my own. I just wasn't enjoying it any more and was tired of spending the money.
I have heard that Chantix is pretty effective for breaking the chemical dependency. You will still have to make the behavioral changes.
