WOO HOO!

The initial start was indeed the Chantix enabling me to quit 7 days after I took the first one, but I credit myself and my willpower most with the successful quit. I just wish I had gotten to the point I'm at now sooner - I've just recently started staying away from the bar where I most often play poker in favor of either not playing at all, or just playing in non-smoking bars. I'll be happy if I can ever get a new set of friends who are non-smokers, but that's slow-going for me so far.
