Champix-the new stop smoking drug- 4 of my colleagues belong to the same surgery? -

and we all asked for this drug-the doctors said no to us all straight away is it the cost?champix has no evedential proof of workin any better than bupropion hydrochloride or zyban so if you ahve not already tried zyban ask the doctor for it but be warned there are some medical conditions he may be relcuctant to prescribe it with .good luckThere is a lot of bad things being said about it. Studies show that products like Nicoderm have a much higher success rate.

Here-s more info:

First of all the drug is Chantix and so answer #1 doesn-t know what he is talking about. Second, the cost is only about $110.00 per month for 3-6 months and so that is less than cigarettes at a pack per day. Third it works with only a minimum of side effects and no withdrawal. I quit on it and everyone I-ve seen on it has quit. That article is a crock and the guy who posted it is not actually an FDA employee, or is that an FDA article.
Chantix is safe, inexpensive, and easy to use and is a miracle drug if you want to quit. The reported success rate is ~80% and side effects include transient nausea for about 1-2 weeks and constipation relieved by milk of magnesia.
It is even being considered as mandatory therapy in some drug treatment facilities, so consider it safe until proven otherwise.

do you really think the FDA would let a new drug with 80% failure rate on the market?

p.s Your doctor seems uninformed, but it may be that no insurance covers it yet.

How can i stop smoking? -

How can i stop smoking? -

i smoke alot, and i go to the gym everyday, i have muscles, i-m a bodybuilder, i cant stop smokin, how can i stop this poison ? am always tired because of nicotinefor your information...

stopping smoking is not somewhere outside.. i for instance is a smoker.. i have been smoking for 5,6 years,... and i just left smoking as i had a real fear of death in my mind.. i stopped smoking from august 2008 and till this april 3rd i was not smoking at all.. and this happened on 4th of april.. i was having adrink with my friend.. and he offered me a smoke.. which i wud generally avoid.. earlier.. accepted that day.. and i started smoking as if i have never left smoking...


so smoking s not a habit as people think.. it is only an event.. if you want to stop smoking .. dont think about it.. and when you really have the urge to smoke.. just say yourself this one time -i willNOT smoke.-

i was able to stop smoking just because i really had the fear of succumbing to cancer.....

so it is all in your mind.. your mind can do what is good for you if you really think you must do it!

be strong in your mind.. think of the negative things you would end up with if u continued smoking..

gud luk to stop smoking..

3 things u shall do ..
1.avoid places where u smoke.. like a smoking joint..
2.avoid persons who will encourage u to smoke..
3. tell every one you know that- U HAVE STOPPED SMOKING - this will make ur ego understand that if u smoke again that thall the words of all those who laughed at you saying -u can never- true, correct..

diver urself in any other activity u like .. when u feel to smoke.If you really can-t stop, and I-m probably going to get slated here, try cutting right down to a couple per day. I-m of the opinion that most things in moderation can-t be that bad for you. I enjoy a smoke at the end of a long day, I just don-t smoke during the day.Smoking is horrible! I smoked for 5 years before stopping. Let me tell you, it was a TASK! I tried everything on the market, wasted hundreds, and I couldn-t quit.

In the end a friend at the gym said try hypnosis. At first I declined, but he told me his wife did it from home and using her MP3 player. I tried it, and stopped. Shocking I know, but I-m healthy and better of now.

If you want to give it a go, read this article by Dr. Harris: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hypnosis-Stop-SmokingSmoking is not a respiratory disease.

Been a smoker for about 10yrs and want to try to give up but need help. I went on a holiday and was unable to smoke my usual daily amount but because of being away from it all i didn-t seem to care (very surprising)!
I ended up being able to have some a day and a half after nothing and instantly noticed a bad change in my personality and parenting style.
Now I-m back home i can-t seem to stay away from it.
Help please i just want to be normal.....If you want to stop, you will have to have the will power to do it. Attend MA (marijuana anonymous) meetings, do it for your health, or, and this is a biggie, do it because your kids deserve a mother who is drug free, wants them to be healthy (not breathing second hand smoke), is not high around them, has her wits about her in case of an emergency, etc. Good luck.Pot is not physically addicting. So, just quit like I did. Stop it, just stop it..... I took courses at the local community college and read books to arrive at a fantasy. Pot makes you fantasize That is all So fantasize doing something else....You can wean yourself off by drinking beer or wine..if you want to stop then just stop. if you have side effects then you have become mentally addicted and need counseling.

though its not physically addictive mentally you can get hooked just like, food, shopping, gambling, etc.its hard...just get a bunch of people who care about you and support you to help. Give them all your pot and tell them not to let you have any, and make sure they check on you everyday. Its much easier if you have people there trying to help you through it.just think of how horrible it is that you are a pot-smoking parent. change your lifestyle, and get rid of all your pothead friends. you are an adult, and a parent. start acting like it.all i can say is push...just stay as far away as you can from it, thats what i do because i have an athletic career ahead of meconsult wid a doc ... seek medical help

Commit lozenges worked for me after smoking for over 30 years. Don-t give up! It is the hardest thing I have ever done but what a feeling of relief. Good luck to you and keep trying!You might try Chantix, its a new prescription drug that acts on the nicotine receptors in the brain making them less reactive to nicotine. It is taken in conjugation with a comprehensive -Quit Assist- program that gives positive reinforcement and support which is very important to any one trying to quit. Good Luck!
Be Well!Contact the Quitline and join a Quit Smoking Clinic.I have heard that smokers have a hard time quitting because they develop an oral fixation (always have to have something in there mouth), try chewing any flavor of gum everytime your about to have a cigrette, or even eat a jolly rancher or sucker.
