Quitting smoking with the help of champix
I am on day 14 of champix, still in shock that I haven't smoked. I have smoked 30/40 cigarettes every day for the past 37 years. I just desperately want to stay stopped. I would say I am a happy smoker!, I loved it, didn't really want to quit but thought I'd give it a go. Any tips on suceeding would

My life without fags!
Ok......ive been trying to stop smoking on and off for the last 8 years! Ive tried everything from patches to hypnotherapy to acupuncture to champix. Until today I thought I was totally helpless and quite possibly condemmed to a life of smoking and more than likely a life cut short. Ive decided to

Newbie to site. Diagnosed borderline COPD 5 years ago, stopped smoking 3.5 years ago after smoking up to 60 a day. Champix did the trick..
Initially was put on Salamol Easi-Breathe. Everything appeared fine until recently when I started with a chest infection back in October, since then I have had 5 more chest infection, 4 lots of antibiotics plus steroids along with Spiriva inhaler. Was due to take a spirometer test last week but the nurse

What are the withdrawal Symptoms
I am now on day 10. I am on Champix. I have found that I am having a lot of trouble sleeping, terrible leg and arm cramps (which I do get every now and then but now find I am getting them every night and they are worse) and having to get up during the night to go the loo. Are these all withdrawal symptoms

If you are thinking of quitting in the new year, will you be going cold turkey or need Nicotine Replacement Therapy to help you ??
If you think you need NRT, then I think this may help you to understand which one you may need :) :) Emjay is one of our lovely quit support advisers, and she wrote this out to help :) Which NRT or other therapies do I have a choice of using? Asked by EmJay Roy Castle 11 Jun 2012

Re: 'new girl ... any advice.' Thanks loads
Hi Thanks for the many useful replies: yes I will take the symbicort as prescribed. As far as smoking goes, ironically I gave up completely about a month before I was diagnosed with COPD (I was coughing that badly, I used Champix, fantastic, it seemed really easy, I recommend it to anyone who is

3 weeks today
I managed to stop smoking tobacco for 3 weeks now. I started the process by using Champix which does work but did create a lot! of side effects such as really intense dreams, feeling a bit spaced out and an upset tummy. Not nauseous but not working properly. I stopped taking Champix about 3 days

Champix > Champion
I have stopped smoking tobacco products on Monday 19 Nov 2012. I am on Champix and it feels easy to let go of smoking rollies. It's a bit like the voice in my head that nags to get a smoke has been turned off. I haven't been smoking fags in many years anyway but the ritual of making a rollie is something
