I stopped using Champix a week ago after completing 3 month course and the cravings started again. Admittedly not as severe but enough to disrupt the day. Going through loads of mints and food!! Still determined not to start smoking again but am finding these cravings are wearing me down. I am hoping that they will ease soon as was enjoying my smoke free existence until now! Plus excess weight around my middle is a bit annoying!
Has anyone experienced this return of cravings? Do they last long?

Thanks. I know I need to give myself a kick and motivate myself to fight these cravings. Reading others experiences and using this forum will hopefully give me the kick! I just thought I had gone through all this and didn't expect it to return and it has taken me by surprise!
I would probably harden up to the cravings too. I've read in a number of places that month 3 (for some) can prove to be another test. Although the cravings are not as bad, as you say they just surprise you more than anything.
I also used champix and altyough I stopped it early and didn't go the full course I didn't have any of the craves you're now getting
But I did have this forum and had learn't the lesson of read read and read some more
