I've no experience at all because I have never smoked (never wanted to - no virtue where there is no temptation) but I just want to congratulate you for trying. It is tough, I know, and I so want you to succeed!

Hello Kayla , glad you are trying to stop....I can not tell you about your champix , but I can say just stick in and stop...it will help your health ...
I should say that I smoked anything from 60 to 80 a day...yes 60 to 80...and I stopped...but I did get a fright one night....chest pains...ended up in hospital....but there was another reason....salt..
and I must be honest here.....I did not feel the need to have a fag ...honest...just stopped...so merlin...if you can stop for 6 hours between fags....you can stop...end of ...best of luck to anyone who tries to stop...
...just do it.....Papa.

I stopped my 60-a-day habit 27 years ago.

Only thing I had to help was Rowntrees fruit gums - ever time I wanted a cig, I made myself suck one instead.

Also as a psych nurse, dealing with other addictions, I knew that the actual physical addiction to the nicotine only lasts about 28 days - after that it's all in the mind!!

So - stick at it Kayla - find a 'hook' to hang it on - use a boiled sweet (dont crunch it!) or a slow cup of *decaf* coffee or tea, whenever you want a cig. ( decaf because you dont need to get hooked on caffeine instead!)

I quit a 40-60 a day habit about 7 years ago. I used the Allen Carr Easy Way to Stop Smoking book, which I found really helpful.

Whatever way you go, the very best of luck, it's the best thing you'll ever do
