Actually, most of the cigarettes you lit were cued by physical needs that aren't even connected to nicotine. What I'm referring to are the physical needs or discomforts that result from fatigue, hunger, boredom, anger, etc. They are a part of life and will always need responses. Till now you used nicotine to dealt with those physical needs. I hope you'll consider using the cognitivequitting program to learn what your own physical needs are and find new effective ways of taking care of them. Otherwise, you may get to the end of your time on Chantix and still have a smoking habit generating urges to smoke. Good luck. Hope you'll let us know how you're doing. Steve Hi Pat,
