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

This is how I gave up smoking and my experience of it, I couldn't do it by will power alone. I have tried to quit before but failed. This new drug has come out called Champix and I thought I'd give it a go, I loved smoking and really didnt want to stop but Im getting older and really want some fitness to do the things I like to do. Its also annoying that the world has alienated smokers and I am sick of that too. So here is my short story of how I quit. I chew lots of gum and also like the occasional redskin lolly to help me through. I might live longer now hopefully. With Champix, I think you actually start to withdraw the day you start taking them. The first week is spent smoking with no satisfaction. By the second week your brain has withdrawn from nicotine because the champix is blocking it. All you are doing after that is satisfying your physical habit of the action of having a smoke. Set a day at around 2 weeks after you start taking champix and stop, I know its hard but just do it! You will start to feel better about not smoking than it was to smoke. Good Luck !!!! Always consult your doctor if you have any issues. Most of them will be to withdrawing from cigarettes, but the tablets can make you feel sick, just make sure you eat before taking them.

nothing like quit smoking without any drug

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

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

@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)
