Chantix Commercial featuring Herb, from Northport, Alabama.

This medication changed my life and I am pleased to be able to share my experience with all smokers who are "afraid to quit." I was chosen to do this commercial based on a brief email that I wrote to the makers of Chantix, thanking them for creating this medication. They later asked if I'd be willing to be filmed telling my story about the many challenges that I faced in trying to kick the nicotine addiction. I am very grateful to be able to tell my store and hopefully inspire others.

I am Herb in the commercial. I'm reading these criticisms that attack both the drug AND ME. I don't get that kind of faceless negativity. Anyway, for the record, I speak from the heart; Chantix has been a miracle for me, and I don't have any professional affiliation with Pfizer. My wife is in the commercial and we both wear wedding rings. The book I was reading was Cold Mountain and I wear bifocals, hence the lifted forehead. Sadie, our dog, joined the spot but there was no "licking"?! Namaste

You may have stopped smoking, "Herb", but you've still got a residual gravel voice.

[herbneu]

Wow "Strider", who are you!? What are you? This is Herb's wife responding to one of your many HATEFUL comments. WOW again. Herb's voice is a deep announcer voice. He's been in broadcast and his voice, even today, gets continual compliments, even from professionals. So what is the deal with you? Did you have a bad childhood? Does he remind you of a teacher who taunted you? Whatever it is, I hope you find some peace.

Can anyone tell me what the music is in this commercial?

[PAMuffinMan]

@moreaboutthat I know that, legally, they have to list EVERY side-effect experience, even if the guy was wrong (i.e the headache was not from the pill, but from another issue), but the way Herb defends it makes me wonder if he's a payed shill or a Pfizer PR guy.

[moreaboutthat]

@PAMuffinMan  I had no side effects other than slight nausea when I took my morning tablet without first having a meal.

Smoking kills, but Chantix kills quicker.

[justintryba]

make weed at least it doesnt have the side effects of chantix

[TheRadicalOneNG]

I'm glad I never started smoking, look at those side effects!

[PAMuffinMan]

@herbneu Herb be honest. How much have they payed you to take it and ignore the nearly-40 seconds of negative effects?
