Hi,
It is quite possible for your symptoms to be related to smoking and it is good that you have decided to quit. Chantix can help reduce the craving, but it is not meant to be taken in conjunction with nicotine replacement therapy. Choose any one of the two strategies as per your preferences but do not combine the two.
Best wishes.
