BEAT THE CRAVINGS.
Nicotine nasal spray and the nicotine inhaler are available by prescription, as are the stop-smoking medications bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (
Chantix
). Chew on it. Give your mouth something to do to fight a tobacco craving. Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy.

Apart from the blip in April when I smoked 18 cigs over a few days, then picked myself up, ditched the junk Champix and carried on. 19 weeks of stress, misery, tears, and hair pulling later how do I feel. Umm, exactly the same. Could still

Should I start taking the Champix now or wait a little longer?
I have tried numerous times to stop smoking - had the addiction for 43 years!! I 'cheated' the pharmacy into giving me champix by blowing zero on the meter they use. I did this by using an e-cig and NRT for 72 hours prior to my consultation. I wanted to have the tablets in so I could quit in my own time
