I stopped just over 4 months ago, used patches at first then read the same book as you. I smoked heavily for over 20 years and am absolutely delighted to be smoke free now. I just have to keep telling myself that I'm a puff away from a pack (and a half) a day!
Good luck with stopping. I found that book really helpful - more so than the patches. xxHealth Question & Answer

I gave up by using CHAMPIX 19 weeks ago, I gave smoking up 2 weeks after starting the tablets as agreed with the doctor. This seems to be important, as if to get the stuff into your system I guess. I smoked for 42 years and never thought I would stop so I was really sceptical but at the end of that 2 weeks I was beginning to not want a ciggie. I had no cravings as I have in the past when I have tried, no mood swings and no needing to eat more. A couple of times I wanted a smoke so I didn't go to the shops and be tempted. The only side effect I got was I took my tablets at 8am and 8pm, after the 8am tab I would have the most terrible stomach cramps. So I took them at 11 am and 11 pm and the problem stopped. I went to my Nurse after 6 weeks and was told my lungs were clear and that I had no trace of Carbon Monoxide in me . Then last week I saw my Doctor and he said my blood pressure is correct (the 1st time in 6 years) and that my weight was the same as when I started . Today I have the last 2 weeks tabs unopened , I don't smoke, and I feel so much better. These tablets are a complete miracle. I have tried the patches and lozenges without success but these really work. Sorry its so long but I wanted to tell you and I hope you stick with it, good luck.

I gave up eventually... I have absolutely no will power so it was really difficult, in the end what worked was chewing gum constantly and having a friend quit at the same time. So whenever either of us felt like smoking we'd ring the other and moan about how bad smoking is for you and how giving up will save us loads of money in the end (despite chewing gum costs.)Health Question & Answer
I try to make sure I always have something for my hand or mouth to do whenever I know I'm going want one (after a meal, in the car, etc.). Toothpicks, suger-free gum/candy. I also have to limit the aount of alcohol I consume and the places I go to hang out.Health Question & Answer
