Chantix works in much the same way as naltrexone works on opioid overdoses!. The chemical, Varenicline, resembles the nicotine molecule!. When you take the pill, the molecule binds to the nicotine receptors in your brain, thus reducing cravings, and simultaneously blocking the action of any nicotine you might ingest!.
As for how well it works, in my opinion, not well at all!. I took a course of it twice, and neither time did it have ANY effect on me whatsoever, not even the nausea that many report!. I was taking Effexor and Oxycontin at the time, though, so that may have had something to do with it!. Both of those things made me crave cigarettes like a madman!
My dad's wife took it, too, and all she reported was nausea, but no success reducing cravings!. Everyone's body chemistry is different, though, and it may very well work for you!. I hope it does!
It is reported to have homicidal/suicidal ideation as a side effect, but there is no science to either deny or confirm this!. Hell, smoking is just a slower form of suicide, but then we're all going to take the eternal dirt-nap one day, anyway!.!.!. I read a story about some guy in Hollywood (actor!?) who killed his neighbor after starting this medication!. You might Google Chantix + murder if this bothers you!.
I don't know if you've ever heard of Zyban (Wellbutrin), but it is used as a smoking cessation aid as well!. It is an atypical anti-depressant, and It definitely helped me quit smoking - reduced the cravings, shortened their duration, etc!. Like Chantix, it doesn't work for everyone, but it may be worth a try if Chantix fails you!.
Good luck in your efforts to quit, it's not easy, but it IS worth it! You won't believe how much better you'll be able to breathe, and you'll feel better in general!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Exactly - it reduces your cravings!. You will still want to smoke sometimes but you'll find that you won't crave cigarettes as often!. No you will not get sick if you smoke!. You will very likely just get really nauseous from the pills themselves!. I tried them but got so nauseous I couldn't handle the pills at all - I had to go to work after all!. Good luck but don't be surprised if you don't have alot of success!. I don't know anyone who has had longterm success using chantix!. Don't want to discourage you but you may as well know the truth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I know of several people who have successfully stopped smoking using Chantix!. You may well get cravings if you smell cigarette smoke or see someone smoking!. You may miss it at times you habitually smoked!.!.!.IE: with coffee, after a meal, etc!.
You will not get sick if you smoke!.
