Previous results from the investigators' Center have shown that combination treatment with Chantix and Zyban is more successful in helping men quit smoking. The investigators hope to replicate these findings with this study.

Primary Outcome

This will be determined by a composite of self-report at the 11-week study visit of no smoking between the 8-week and 11-week visits and expired air carbon monoxide (CO) \<10 ppm (measured at the 11-week study visit). An intent-to-treat criterion will be used, whereby drop-outs are considered to be non-abstinent.
