Tomorrow is my quit day AGAIN. I have been doing the Cessate Research program with UNSW and know the Champix works but it did make me feel a little spacey and sometimes feeling sick if not eaten enough as you have to eat with Champix. Anyway, I know I have just have to get committed to my health and I know how much better I feel when I don't smoke and how much my cardio fitness improves. I am 5...

I've tried to quit smoking 3 times already. The first time I didn't smoke for almost 2 months but I put on 6kg and as soon as the stress came back I started smoking again. What is the best way to start? Would you use nicotine patch or gums and which one is best? How did you deal with the hunger and gain weight? How did you deal with the stress?

Beware of champix. I have never had depression, anxiety or mental issues in the 50 years of my life. In about the second week of taking champix I encountered serious mental issues, depression, insomnia, anger and so many day to day issues that were way outside my normal behaviour and character .I was defamatory towards a number of people and almost ended up in court with dierectors of an ASX comp...

Reached day 38 watching TV and was thinking about opening a packet of cigarettes and having a smoke. The strange thing was that instead of wanting to smoke a cigarette the picture in my mind was that smoking a cigarette was disgusting and I didn't want to breath in that smoke. I know I am still addicted to nicotine as I am using nicorrete spray, however this is the first time I can remember that ...

Hey guys! I’m due to step down to step 3 patches this coming weekend, then after 3 weeks, no more patches (using Nicotinell patches). So, I wanna be prepared for what happens after I stop using them. I know everyone is different, but your experiences could help me, as I will know that could be normal or not, so I don’t panic haha. I just don’t wanna get caught out and start smoking again....

Well it’s day 9 since quitting and I am using a patch to help me. The thing is I feel really down and it’s making me want to smoke again! I feel irritable too! The cravings feel so intense. I don’t want to smoke but just feel so weak and feel like buying a pack of cigarettes 😔

I used the Champix starter pack and have been off it for about a month now. However; I've had terrible stomach issues since starting the medication and cannot think of any other reason why this is. I'm extremely bloated, have stomach pain, and am not going to the washroom properly (semi constipated yet very soft stool - sorry for the details) .... has anyone else experienced this?? Can the med...
