Hi, i'm new here and today is my first day of taking Chantix. I've tried using Nicotine Gum and Nicotine patches several times and it did not work. I'm actually looking forward to this journey and i'm so glad that I found this group.

I smoke about 10-12 cigarettes a day.

It's 3:52pm central time and I only had 3 Cigarettes so far.

Hi, I too started Champix on Sunday, today is day 4 for me and my first day of morning and evening tablet, I have no idea what to expect. So far I've had no side effects and I'm still smoking, although the taste is changing and I'm leaving half roll ups when I am smoking. I'm in the UK

I'm a day behind you day 3 and I noticed a difference on my second day. Like you i'm still smoking but not as much and i'm not getting that strong urge feeling. The taste of a menthol cig has not changed for me yet.
