I tried it a few times - never worked for me - but glad it worked for you!
I tried chantix too before -but made me sick to my stomach and I still smoked. I have tried nicotine patches, nicotine gum, cold turkey, switching to ultra-lights, switching brands, multiple approaches - nothing ever worked before . . . I didn't want to quit. (I still don't - it just happened).
Yes, you can get different milligrams of nicotine so you can decrease on your own. I am amazed that I don't even think of having a puff first thing in the morning. Sometimes I will be driving home and realize I haven't had a puff for 3 or 4 hours . . . almost like the cravings are disappearing as time goes by. The salesperson can help you figure out how many mg. you need based upon how much you smoke in cigarettes. The cartridges (pre-filled) are $26 for 1.3 carton's worth. The one I can fill myself reduces the cost to approx 99 cents a pack equivilent. Since Cigs are nearly $9 a pack where I live - I have saved so much money! I would never have believed anyone who told me this had I not tried the samples @ the kiosk!!!
I never did decide to quit cigarettes. . . it just happened and it was the easiest thing I have ever done! I still use the equivilent of about 3/4 - 1 pack per day but I was smoking up to 2 packs of cigarettes a day before (some days were worse than others).

Stick with it. I quit when I woke up at 5am and couldnt breathe out. Thank God for a Combivent inhaler.The only urge I had for a cig. was the day my husband died. but I didnt. Nore.
