Champix does work and it will stop you smoking

I say this because I got champix this morning and was using smoking device constantly. Today I haven't touched it and have had one tablet. Bizarre it may sound but i didn't want to use smoking device anymore. It was terrible for my chest and made me cough just like a cigarette does. Which then leads me on to the most important point I'm making. You have to want to quit and use willpower as well as the champix. Never even been anywhere near the device and don't intend to either. So I can go to the gym before collapsing walking up the stairs to the equipment !!! Good luck everyone but it is all down to the individual. Not just the medication. I used to smoke 20 per day and weekends worse. Already I'm not coughing. Not out of breath and as much as its my first day I can tell you all I will never touch another cigarette or smoking device again. Think of all your health benefits..... I am and it will be sheer determination. You can do it !!!

Good on you P75 for making the best decision of your life - to quit for good! Wishing you all the best on your journey to becoming smoke free. It truly is awesome!

Well done P75 on taking the first steps on this monumental journey. The very best thing I have found over the past three weeks is checking in here and being inspired by those who are leading the way through a smoke-free trail. It gets tricky in the thick of it but the support of these fellow travellers is wonderful.
