After trying everything else champix did it for me, that was eight years ago and I haven't looked back. A year after stopping smoking I was diagnosed with COPD and now on inhalers and doing fine. Good luck.

Champix is the wonder drug that finally made me quit for good after 40+ years of smoking. I cut down to 1 a day at the end of the 2 weeks, but I continued several days after to smoke a "last" cigarette just before going to bed. When my sister found this out, she went berserk & gave me a right telling off. So I stopped completely & the 5 second craving last thing at night gradually disappeared. It was so easy with Champix & I did continue to take it for a while just in case. The smell of smoke now makes me feel sick and a lot of exsmokers feel this way too. The really good thing about stopping is the unexpected feeling of euphoria, plus good health and more money in your pocket.

Well done. How interesting that you can't wait to start, and that they are almost insisting on you smoking for another two weeks!,, is that a kind of psychological ruse.

All the best

I stopped 11 yrs ago with Champix, I found it so easy, I had stopped before my date as I didnt want to smoke. I had cut right down and was only smoking through habit not because I needed to. AS for the smell of smoke I didnt mind for ages whether they smoke near me, but now I hate it and move away from them. XX
