Stopped after 38 years

[Hercu]

I am an old hard smoker and been smoking 40 a day for 37 years

After a doctor' s visit and been warned that I am suffering of CAOD (Chronic airway obstructive decease) caused by tobacco smoke i decided to quit.

So, with the aid of Champix I started and after day 3 I was down to 7 cig's a day.

Now on day 21 and would maybe have 1 for the day.

Hope to stop totally by day 30.

Hi Hercu

Great that you've made the decision to quit - it's never too late to reap benefits, I believe. I haven't used champix, but there are people here that did/are, who can probably be really helpful!

Seems to me that it's great that you have a plan, though. Bet you're already surprised that you've got down to one a day.

Good luck and welcome aboard x

Welcome Hercu, and congratulations on your reduction. That is a substantial reduction. One of the very best decisions you can make. Champix has helped me enormously.

Thank you for all the best wishes and support.

I am on day 26 on Champix and my target was to stop completely on day 30.

On day 24 there was no crave any more and for 2 days now without any cigarette.

Now just need to keep my hands busy because i found myself reaching for my top pocket where I used to carry my cigarettes.

Hi and welcome. I quit after 48 years of smoking so I guess it's never too late to give up. I don't suppose we can ever undo all the harm we've caused but I know I feel so much better for not smoking now and I'm certainly richer which in itself has the benefit of having money for treats I couldn't afford as a smoker that has vastly improved my life. It was a struggle at first but not so much now. You can do this
