Time to quit
Hi, well tomorrow the 25/8/2012 will be my first day of not smoking and about my 4th attempt to give up, but over the past week i have been getting chest pains, my bp is up and pulse is high also, last year in August i lost my mum to lung cancer and the emphysema she had took over the lung cancer. I got a script from the doctor for champix but whilst reading some stories on here ive decided not to get them, just stay with the patches and gum. Wish me luck
Good luck!
I'm quitting today cold turkey! I tried Champix about a year ago... DO NOT USE CHAMPIX.
It's good you have decided against it but please don't change your mind. And if you ever have a friend considering Champix, please tell them not to. My dad also tried Champix.. 8 days in he had a near heart attack.

champix works for some and not others. i can tell you this it did stop me wanting a smoke but i was always hungry and then on the final weeks (PACK 2) as the dose lessens i did want and smoked the odd smoke.
Wishing you the best of luck
Hi Jen48, good luck to with your quitting tomorrow, I am sure you will nail it this time. Nobody should tell you NOT to use Champix. I did a course of champix and havn't touched a cigarette nor wanted to for 9 months now. Like Eric, I had minimal side effects, some nausea and didn't sleep well for the 3 months I was on it, but side effects are different for all people. It may not work for everyone and that is fine, that's why there are many different methods to quit smoking. I am sure you will eventually find the one that works best for you. Good luck on your quit journey:)
