I have been smoking since 2006 and tried several times to quit but couldn't quit it for more than 3 to 4 weeks. May be due to the lack of will power and self control.

@ggufran4u Nope it is a pill and it takes the smoking urge go away to the point you hate to smoke.

Does it really works like that?
Are there any side-effects?

@ggufran4u There is a few side effects yes but if you really want to quit it is worth a try. Have you ever tried the patch?

@ggufran4u - would like to add, trying the "step down" method can be useful, is difficult weening off nicotine, its a powerful drug so gotta slowly ween off. I cut my habit in half, 10cigs per day for a few months, then cut that in half, 5cigs per day, until I finally went to zero per day.
