I smoked about a pack a day for approximately 40 years. When I made a serious attempt to quit I was able to get it down to seven cigarettes per day, but could never seem to actually quit altogether.
My doctor put me on bupropion, and within a few weeks I was able to quit for good. (Sep. 2 will be five years.) Bupropion was a miracle drug, as far as I’m concerned.
I'm trying to quit and got on wellbutrin, but it didn't/hasn't worked, at least for smoking; I feel like it's helping out quite a bit in other areas, concentration mostly.
I will throw in that it's really hard to do with a partner who smokes and isn't trying to quit. To some degree it's an excuse, but it's still much harder when they are around all the time, and were part of your routine (the cig after work where we talk about our days, the coffee and cig in the morning....). But I'm still dedicated to quitting, especially when it dawned on me there's really only one cigarette I actually enjoy (the first thing in the morning on the deck with coffee cig).
