I gave up smoking with champix, how I quit smoking cigarettes

[PK4GP]

The balloon thing means you can breath better now that you have quit smoking :)

[aktnilab81]

stay far awy from the boose for a while though... the urge to light up comes back after a few beers:))

[aktnilab81]

this is the best drug ever man!! 4 weeks and i feel free already... the changes in my lifestyle are amazing! the withdrawal symptoms are almost all gone and i feel like im 17 again every day... the only downside is the crazy twisted dreams i keep having almost every night.:) they r not nightmares they just f.... weird man...oh yeah and i did have 2 smokes but couldnt finish'em... they taste awful and i dont have that satisfying feeling of the first smoke either. the magic is all gone!:)

[tonus888]

@aktnilab81 well done, its great to be free off the damn things is'nt it

[datchet11]

Good on you mate! I'm in day 3 of these champix pills! Wish me luck lol

[tonus888]

@datchet11 Good luck mate, right now your brain will be withdrawing from nicotine even if you are still smoking

[Baraquiel62]

nothing like quit smoking without any drug

[addicted2guitar90]

They didnt work for me. Everytime I took them I couldnt get off the chair and it put me in a state of depression and boredom so I had to stop taking them :(

Although it worked for a whole day which is the longest i've acheived without a smoke for 10 years

[SirGrowalott]

Well done man. I'm gonna give the cancer sticks up real soon.

[jtso6123]

Im on day 7 and I felt sick whilst smoking today. In fact, I was sitting at a cafe and someone behind me was smoking and the smoke mad me want to puke, The ciggis are starting to have a funny taste which I dislike.

[Araliuz]

Day 1 here :)

[vincedc55]

Nov 3 is the day I start taking these. Wish me luck and any tips would be appreciated.

[tonus888]

@vincedc55 Good luck,! just dont ever let yourself smoke one again once you stop. cheers

[triumphvinnie]

@vincedc55 I'm starting tomorrow.......

[triumphvinnie]

Reageren op deze video... Too bad I was honest to my doctor, I said I haven't tried patches or gum before, so now my insurance will not pay for this medicine, I have to pay for it myself.

I live in Holland and the 12 week program will cost me between 300 and 350 euros !!!!!

I wish I'd lied...........

[Sarajevo1970]

@triumphvinnie Dus als je zegt dat je het niet eerder hebt geprobeerd met

pleisters o.i.d. krijg je het niet vergoed? (welke verzekeraar heb je trouwens)

[triumphvinnie]

@Sarajevo1970 Verzekerd via CZ, maar de instelling van mijn dokter was ook behoorlijk waardeloos, zo ontzettend volgens het boekje.

[kalfass]

moi j'entame la deuxième semaine avec champix je doit arrêter mercredi la derniere cigarette déja 1 mg aujourdhuit le coeur bat plus vite qu'avant  bon courage a toi

[SillyBoyBlue83]

Just Started these today :)

[michaelcurry2000]

No side affects,

I have heard a few storys about Champix, Well was it Champix or giving up smoking?

Mike From NZ

[Mohammed4117]

Good on u mate I will start from tomorrow. But what can you do if u r traveling !! For example from Dubai to aussies around 15 hours what should I do ??

[tonus888]

@Mohammed4117 Buy an electronic cigarette

[raalou]

Mate you my hero - I been smokin 20 years myself. I'm on day 8, I meant to stop but I had one in the mornin.

[tonus888]

@raalou Anyone that can stop and never start or have one again is a hero, I wish I was. You can stop within the 14 days of starting the champix. Remember not to start again, dont even have one for any reason ok.

[leebee3007]

Im starting tomorrow on Champix, I thought it best to start at te beginning of the week so will see how it goes

[tonus888]

@leebee3007 Sure is, go well !

[PortsladeBySea]

Champix is fantastic. It helps whilst you break the habit. I feel fitter & I've got money at the end of the month which must piss the fag industry off!

[tonus888]

@PortsladeBySea Well Done! Keep it up

[mikeyjames585]

top Vid mate, just got the first script today and going to jump on it. cheers

[tonus888]

@mikeyjames585 Hope your going well. Keep it up and never smoke again

[fourpointohh]

did you ever feel really high when you were waking up?

[tonus888]

@fourpointohh I dont think so

[dexxton]

@fourpointohh I did feel as if i was stoned every morning for the first few days... was really nervous about taking this drug the first few days as the side effects were many... but after a week its a breeze... no more smokes.. no urges!

[brisbanemopar]

i took champix for 24 days ,i smoked for the first 10 days then continued to take them for 2 weeks after that then i kicked the pills aswell ,so less then 1 month on champix all up & i have smoked for 17 years until now

[tonus888]

@brisbanemopar Hope your still going well off the smokes

[BabyBlueLace]

I have been taking Champix for 6 days now and wonder when its going to start kicking in because i still smoke the same. It has not given me the desire not to smoke yet.and i am just wondering how long before it does???

[tonus888]

@BabyBlueLace i think u keep smoking as many as u like for the first 2 weeks then the dosage increases and u should notice u get no pleasure from them any more. set a day to stop and throw your smokes away

[MelleFrimousse1]

I've been on champix for 5 weeks. Only missing cigarettes as you say for reward. Funny until now I could not pin point why.

My only side effect has been that I am extremely tired. I have no problem sleeping at all!!! The other day I slept 12 hours straight. My appetite did not increase this time either. I am really positive.

[tonus888]

@MelleFrimousse1 Well Done, Great Work !!!

[danielflynn3]

Did you have any nausea or trouble sleeping? I'm on my second day and I'm feeling quite ill and I really struggled sleeping last night, as weird as it sounds I feel quite uncoordinated. I'm hoping it's something else and not the champix. I'm going to have one again today and hopefully I'm better tomorrow. Quitting smoking FTW!

[tonus888]

@danielflynn3 yes had slight nausia after taking tablet and some sleeplesness which could be from nicotine withdrawells also as the champix blocks the brains receptors to nicotine. keep up the good work

[hbz241]

guys this medicin is so effective if u have a strong desire to quit,,,, I have now about three monthes without smoking and i stopped taking the bills a monthe ago. but u have to be carful when u stop teaking the bill because u may feel much more tempted to smoke so do not go with smokers or sit close to them

[jawbraeka]

they should be advertising this with a quit campaign ad... just to show people that there are alternatives to smoking.

[chazden]

i gained 30lbs when i took chantix for 2 months, but then again i was underweight when i started.

Food cravings went through the roof

[danielflynn3]

@chazden Really? Do you think that's from not smoking or from the champix? I don't want to be a big fatty. :D

[ammusi]

I've got a doc appointment next week to get a prescription - reading what ppl have written here gives me hope already - thanx people!

[excell123]

Are you still off them, im into my 3rd day of the blue 1 mg tablets (2nd week) and had 1 smoke yesterday, im a bit restlest when go to bed!

[tonus888]

@excell123 I didnt smoke for 3 or 4 months, I was off them, then at new years I thought I could get away with a few and that was it. So dont even have 1 at a party or anything. I will use champix again. It helps you stop but its up to you to not take it back up again. :(

[jawbraeka]

@tonus888 don't get down on yourself... just remember you only get better at quitting :D

[nhlpens]

People say that have huge side effects, well like all medication side effects can occur. Ask yourself: Maybe have side effects for 10-12 weeks or maybe get 10-12 weeks to live some time down the road. I'm going to give champix a try.

[excell123]

Im about to take my first tablet of Champix, im 41 been smoking about 20 yrs on and off but must give up as i have 100% blockage of my Basilar artery in my brain also have a fusiform anuerysm.........so i must give up to have a chance of a long and happy life!

[tonus888]

@excell123 its time to stop then, all the best. Just remember to stay off the smokes as time goes on.

[Stubert222]

It is working great for me, onto week 2 of champix with only side effects being crazy dreams and drowesiness and the awesome fact that ive now no desire at all nor do I think of having a smoke...

[CartmanLandZ]

Champix is wonderfull drug, gives u cool dreams too lol. Is this normal?

I mean I am on champix now, and I never been so happy in my whole life.

Idc about smoking anymore either lol.

[vyaschady]

Me too, Champix helped me give up smoking in 2 weeks, i was told to stop in 1 week, but i still did some like one or two a day after the first week, i could not feel anything from the cigarettes anymore, and soon gave up, i haven't smoked for 2 weeks now, i know i have quit now, no craving what so ever. No Nausea, no vomiting, no head aches, except just some very vivid dreams which i kind da like a lot. My health have improved in just 3 days of not smoking. Oh yeah, i need to point out, have

[golala4]

Dude after watching your vid, you have inspired me to make a change... i'm on week 3 pack now 7 days since the last time i had a ciggy and i feel better then ever with slight cravings though but it's manageable... but yeh it does feel like you've missed a friend... Dude thank you for posting this vid and please post an update!!! :D i've told some of my mates to watch this and now i got another mate on them on this stuff... good stuff mate!

[tonus888]

@golala4 Thanks pal, just dont start again, dont even have one if your at a party and your drunk and ya just wanna have "one". Champix does not prevent you starting again in the future after you stop taking the pills. It just helps you to stop and its still up to yourself to stay off the smokes and not take them back up. The pills take away the satisfaction of having a smoke, but the satisfaction will come back again after you stop taking the pills and you will continue to smoke again after 1cig

[syntechdesign]

Thanks for the inspiring video! I just had my last cig one hour and a bit ago, I quit one and a half days early. It just wasn't enjoyable anymore and I was excited to quit, rather than terrified!

[jorgezamarbide]

3 months without smoking, I have 37 y.old and I was smoking from 19 ... personally I believe that the creators of Champix deserve the nobel prize (seriously) because it is the only effective treatment (I tried with tablets of nicotine, laser, chewing gums).-

[MrRneville]

off cigarettes for 3 months,was smoking 40 a day,dont think i could have done it without champix,off the tablets for 2 months and doing fine.

[sn0wgurl]

I'm glad that the Australian government subsidizes this. The Canadian government doesn't and I feel ashamed to say that. I sound quite cynical but even the pharmacist agreed with me when I said if it's that effective, the government would lose a lot of money...like the lottery. Heaven forbid everyone get cured of smoking.  We might put them out of business and they would be paying for us to do so.

[chrisso06]

nice report man, i am on the same thing, all we have to remember is.. quiting now has one big plus.. no oxegen bottle when your 50 !! and also i dont know how much your lungs are going to "heal" after 20 years but they will be releived ! Good work

[scottspinner]

i quit on these smoked 40 per day for 20 years,,8 MONTHS NOW ,,,IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN ,,,GOOD LUCK

[savashdj]

just started blue ones. i do have some craves but i think is gonna work

[tonus888]

@savashdj Just remember not to start smoking again, stay off and away from ciggies after you stop !!

[bigsharkey1]

im gona give these things a try iv been told there very effective

[smokinmcjokin]

i used champix and have not smoked for 6 mnths woohoo!! would urge anyone who wants to quit and has no will power to try these

[jorgezamarbide]

Champix works, I come five days ago without smoking ... negative effects: I am little silly more that of custom. In Arg, southamerica, the price is 468 $ = €100 = U$s 150... I am not going to lie, i feel like another person, more calmly, like drugged, contemplative because of it I do not want to drive, BUT IT WORKS.-

[Dolphinboy30]

I started using Champix in October 2009, gave up 7 days later and it was like a switch had been deactivated in my brain. Other than me gaining a few pounds, some queasiness and black dogs I have been off the damn ciggies ever since :)

[UTUBEFREAK1974]

I'm on my 3rd week using Champix,i now take only the 1mg tablets.Had a bit of sickness and strange dreams but this seems to be easing now.I'm 35 and have been smoking since i was 13.....So far so good!

[V2Cephei]

Congrats By the way to anyone this worked for!!!!

I am still a heavy smoker. :(

[V2Cephei]

IF anyone hear has experienced depression, mood swings ,and a lasting effect on their brain (negative)

please. I would like to talk to you. I took this drug 2 years ago, and stopped half way through the process because I couldn't handle what it was doing to me. There were so many side effects I can't even type them all..

msg me please. I'd like to hear from others.

[maulajat931]

i got my champix friday i start tomorrow 8th march 2010, the side effects are worrying me though, suicidal thoughts, vivid dreams, chest pains etc etc, the worst thing about it that woman waking up in hospital not knowing that she tried to commit suicide by puting a noose round her neck and hanging from the bannister, her daughter had to tell her what she done she had no recollection of that, now thats freaky, if you know your getting suicidal thoughts you can do sumthin about it, if not then..

[filtersweeperVCO]

constipated to shit though

[cardiffguy85]

lol the dreams amaze me some thimes lol

[V2Cephei]

Once i dreamed that I woke up, and then woke up and woke up over and over again. And every time i woke up... something in the room would obviously be off ( a picture, desk whatever) I'd realize I was asleep and try so hard to wake up. Then when i did again, i was completely paralized from the neck down. I thought I was awake, but AGAIN i was still asleep. I think it went on all morning. When I finally woke up for real, i jumped up and called someone to make sure I was awake...

It was very scary

[KAMIKAZEMW2QC]

@V2Cephei Wow really... I just started the test..

[skyscraper83]

Two weeks without a smoke. All thanks to Champix. Only side affective is some vided dreams. I will miss those dreams after Champix :P

[tonus888]

well done, Im still off them. 7 weeks now.

[1891imoaN]

I have also quit smoking using Champix & think it's a great aid.

BTW - Blowing up a balloon in a dream indicates that you are full of hope and mentally fulfilled.

[slickmanuva]

I loved smoking to mate to the point i was on 30 a day.i have to say they work a treat im on week 4 taking 1 a day and feel great.plus the uk gov helps the cost like youres does which is even more reason to try them.good vid

[Roova7]

Wtf i enjoy watching paint dry more than watching this,,,get on your jet ski or your WRX,,,,,well done on giving up the smokes!

[tonus888]

WRX vids coming soon

[asscrack1980]

[KAMIKAZEMW2QC]
