I used Zyban for 2 months to get over the rough parts. I didn't need to quit I just wanted to because I was tired of being a slave to cigarettes. If you want to you can. However, it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. and then of course you put on weight. Now I'm dieting. I'm going to do to fat what I did to smoke. Kick the butts, kick the lard butt. I smoked for over 40 years, quit 7 years ago and haven’t gone back. I used Zyban for 2 months to get over the rough parts.

I quit because my doctor told me I HAD to. Lots of respiratory issues. And I quit cold turkey. I lied to myself like a dog. Every time I reached for a cigarette, I told myself, why am I doing that? I've never smoked in my life. I dont know how long it was before the cravings quit, but after 20 years I have no desire for a smoke. Different methods work for different people, some dont work at all. I wish anybody who's trying to quit all the best. As I said there was nothing easy about it and I wouldnt want to do it again. But it's not impossible either. Btw – I quit not because I wanted to, I enjoyed smoking. I quit because my doctor told me I HAD to. Lots of respiratory issues. And I quit cold turkey.

I quit 20 years ago this past January. I was sick for three months after I quit. My doctor says it's my system cleaning out the toxins. The benefits. Since I quit I've seldom had a cold, I was getting bronchitis and respiratory infections twice a year, I haven't had either since, and I dont feel like I'm suffocating in the summer.
