My best wishes for you in quitting. I’ve read many anecdotes about how people who kicked both alcohol and tobacco out of their lives found themselves kicking the first out much sooner than the second. Based on more formal reading (peer-reviewed journal articles, mainly), alcohol is actually significantly more addictive than nicotine. However, the habit of smoking is another beast. It’s not the nicotine that’s solely addictive but its combination with the dopamingeric MAOIs in the tobacco and (this is critical) the behavioral rituals of smoking.

I also hope that Chantix works for you. It didn’t for us. I had stomach trouble almost immediately, but his reaction was worse, and he didn’t realize it. He had increasingly bad dreams, and he became angry and short-tempered, far worse than nicotine withdrawal alone. There was paranoia and irrational thinking, but it was very difficult to convince him that it was happening. Stopping chantix put him back to normal.
So, I really hope it works well for you, and that you don’t have these kinds of outcomes.
