I have lost count of the number of times that I have tried giving up smoking throughout various methods. This time round have been off smokes for 3 weeks using champix and am down to the last 2 weeks of the course. Am dealing with everything ok at the moment with no real cravings to light up but would like to know from other champix users what I can expect once my course has finished?

Hi Boz, I am a Champix user as well. I have jusst finished my 2nd pack of tablets, and have 1 more (1 Moth) left to go apparently. I however, struggle constantly every single day with cravings still, the Doctor has suggested I do another 3 months on them. I am smokefree, and I have found improvements to my health, like, no coughing, being able to smell and taste again, but this dreadful overriding demon called addiction keeps rearing it's ugly head hrly, very very frustrating and am not a happy person now. I have used Champix in the past for a 3 month period - stopped smoking - then about 3 weeks after that, something rattled my cage and I started again. Good luck and best wishes.
