My dp has been trying to give up smoking for a long time and he can't seem to do it. He has cut down significantly with the help of gum and now only smokes 3-4 small cigars a day. He cannot smoke cigarettes as he would start back on 20 a day again. He has tried acupuncture, gum, patches, inhalers and a couple of years ago he tried some medication from the doctor. The medication made him so ill he had to come off it. The other day I saw something on the tv about a new medication called Champix that is available on prescription. It cuts out all the benefits you feel from smoking so you give up naturally. He is very wary of it as he has had bad experiences of medication before and I was wondering if anyone here or anyone you know has tried it.
Thanks and sorry for the long story!!
