I have just been informed there is no Champix throughout the country. Does anyone know when/if this will change?

It looks as though it's unavailable for the next few weeks as a google search revealed the following: ncsct.co.uk/usr/pub/Champix... also did a google search for zyban, an alternative, but it appears to be out of stock too. I think many drugs are difficult to stock due to Covid. I did stop smoking using champix - it didn't stop cravings, but it took the edge off. However, I now know that the most effective way to stop smoking is hypnosis as we do stop smoking in the sub-conscious. I realised this after I'd stopped smoking and did further research. I have used hypnosis for other behavioural changes, and it does work. Of course you have to be determined to stop, but it may be an alternative to champix. I did not find nicotine replacement therapy to be effective. Good luck in your cigarette free journey.

Champix without a prescription - euhealth24.com/drug/champix I smoked for 40 years & had never really tried to stop, but as I was getting older & becoming more health conscious I thought I really need to try & give up the cigarettes. I started with the champix, set my date & off I went, almost 6 years later I am a non smoker & even detest the smell of it. I had no side effects what so ever, I love not being a slave to smoking anymore.

I searched and found this thread which I found very helpful when giving up smoking. Austinlegro had a comment next to his avatar which said "you stop smoking in the sub-conscious". His comments and ideas helped me to quit more than anything. Once you convince your mind you're not a smoker, you no longer crave cigarettes. Here's the link: healthunlocked.com/nosmokin...
