 This is my diet, but I can't do it alone. I need help. These medicines are that crutch. None of them, you don't take Shantix to make you completely not want to smoke. When you take Shantix for smoking, you're supposed to actually have a quit date and say, I'm doing this no matter what. I'm quitting smoking on day eight. But because I've been on the medicine for eight days, it's going to help with those cravings. But it still takes willpower.
