Has anyone on here ever taken them?? If so, how did you get on with them?
Any advice appreciated.

I know 2 people who have used them and have given up smoking which neither of them had been able to do before.

Champix is fantastic - go for it - started smoking at 14 at 43 decided enough was enough - not had one in 2 years, not tempted, even find the smell repulsive - never thought that'd happen !

Thanks for your comments, I tried everything else, and unfortunately cant do this on my own, so yes i will give it a go,

Joy i know a few who have been hypnotised, didnt work either, but this, well heres hoping :-)

Apparently there are various side-effects that you should be aware of but my nephew was on Champix for awhile and he hasn't smoked since - that was about 5 years ago.

Lol :-)

Yes there are side affects, but maybe they are not as bad as smoking itself, i dont know, but i think any tablet can have side affects, as long as im careful im sure all will be ok, all i've really heard about them is good things, so i think its worth a try, but as with anything always be cautious!!

Well, I'm trying them, but side effects for me are that I'm zonked out for most of the time. So, yes, they work, if you're zonked out :-(

Sneaks off for a fag before I drop off :-(

Wakey wakey Wend,

Seriously tho, i smoked about 25 a day, and 2 work colleagues have been taking them, its the thought of "im dying for a fag" when im at work but its a non smoking site, so not that easy, but saying that i want to give up and cant do it on my own :-(

Wend, we all know that. :-D :-D :-D.Mads, juust persevere,you.ll win in the end, its the actual "Wanting to give up that counts" try eating Liquerish Alsorts sometimes,that helps, but not too many or you will need to diet after to many. :-S.Good luck and keep trying. :-D.**M**
