Yesterday was only the 3rd day on the Chantix already I am noticing some things I didn't expect. Even though I am smoking, total all day from 4 am to 9:30 pm was down to 8. I drove 80 miles to Memphis and back, my wife smoked while we drove, I found I wasn't bothered that much, I didn't smoke. Sense of smell. Since we don't smoke in the house, I have noticed that going out to the garage, it now smells like an ashtray. I can even smell her when she comes back in the house after she smokes. My god, do I smell like that at work to non-smokers?. Taste...I love to cook, and do so everyday for us, noticed last night preparing dinner, I could smell and taste things I dont recall before when making that particular meal. Today I start the one in the morning and one at night pills. I really think of those 8 I had yesterday, I THINK I MIGHT have needed 1, or 2. I am still dealing with the feeling of " I guess I better have one since it has been 5 or 6 hours since the last" Anyway, thanks for reading...

Hi Rainie, no snow thank goodness, just some rain here in West TN, a great day to watch football. I had read posts from others that the first 7 days on Chantix you can/are supposed to, smoke as you normally would. So far, I have had a hard time trying to smoke that much. Not much difference in the mood I don't think, though my wife thinks I am grumpy all of the time anyway :) Have a wonderful Sunday.

Rainie & mrmagic...EXCELLENT TESTIMONIES Good Spirits...YES (with the chantix)(so unlike cold-turkey) Less Cigarettes smoked and NOT MISSED (during countdown week before Quit Date) New Taste bud experience...YES me too.... (my husband's spaghetti sauce took on a whole different flavor) Guys...just one bit of advice here...and I know you both are on your way to being smoke free...this is more of a pep talk than advice: Your withdrawal will be much less (thanks to the Chantix advantage) however...you will still have to deal with those nasty triggers "The Habit" is what you have to change.... Great going...auntdeb :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 20 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,019 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $95 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 59

Mr M- I can so relate to your journey. As we are on the same day with the rx. Have you noticed being in a great mood??? The smokes are tasting like crapola too. I haven't noticed the smelling thing yet but sure do notice the mood. No one can figure out why I am such a happy camper. I keep teasing hubby telling him it's because he is leaving me the remote this week when he leaves! Do you have snow up there where you live? I hate to say this but I live in Fl and we are having a cold snap today...high only about 74! Have a good one...gotta get ready for church this morning!
