Yes about 18 months ago Was pretty hard / I had smoked for 60 years!. Had to stop!. lungs were getting bad,, Went to a new drug then just out, Champix!. Not nicotine therapy like most others, Works on the receptors in brain that make you want to smoke!.!.!. A 3 month course, Available on prescription only in UK!.!. I took it for 2 months, Was a bit hard at first , but got over it, Have not smoked one cigarette since and have no desire to!. I am told it had a higher succeess rate than most other methods!. One slight drawback is you feel a bit queezy,nauseous for abot half an hour after taking them, but a price well worth paying!.!. But big thing is it tends to reduce the urge to smoke!.

After years of being a very heavy smoker, I stopped suddenly!. I took it one day at a time, but for at least three months, I don't think I thought of anything other than cigarettes!. Giving up heroin couldn't be harder!.
If you are trying to stop smoking I wish you all the luck in the world, and I hope it isn't as unpleasant for you as it was for me!.
They do say you have to stop at least twice before you make it!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
