What is this drug called Champix (Varenicline)?

Champix is a non nicotine drug that has been developed specifically for stopping smoking or smoking cessation and is only available on prescription from your GP. It is designed to block the rewards from, and reduce craving from cigarette smoking. Thats the theory anyway. Its a 12 week course begins while you are still smoking with a two week starter pack. Before you start your course of treatment you should decide on a date in the second week – usually between day 8 and day 14 when you will stop smoking. it’s a bit like Zyban and in fact i am not qualifed to state the difference, but my views on Zyban have been stated before so just search or just ask and i will let you have them.

Please research the drug before you take it and DO NOT buy it online it really is not safe to do so.

Take care

What is this drug called Zyban (Bupropion)?

This is a non-nicotine stop-smoking aid that works by reducing the urge to smoke and is only available on prescription from you GP. Your GP will be able to assess whether you have any conditions, or are taking any other medication, which could make it an unsuitable treatment option for you. side effects are rather numerous and include death which for me is a side effect too far.

Zyban is an eight week course that comes in tablet form and treatment begins while you are still smoking. You set a stop smoking date that falls within the second week of taking the tablets – usually around Day 11 and stop smoking completely on that day. By this time, the drug should have built up to the required levels and decreasing your desire to smoke.

Quite what happens when you stop smoking i don’t know as you will have stopped taking the drug as well.

if you are being offered this drug please please look up the data and the history of it. of course stopping smoking is great for your health but is taking a mind altering drug they only way to do it.

I will have to let you decide.

If you would like to discuss stopping smoking in a better way please feel free to conact us you know where we are…

“Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking”…

…according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little” – New Scientist, October 1992

In 1992 a meta-analysis by Frank Schmidt and Chockalingam Viswesvaran reviewed 48 studies, covering 6020 subjects. They found that the average quit rate for those using hypnosis was 30%.

Numerous studies have shown that the success for stopping smoking using hypnotherapy is much higher than nicotine replacement products. In 1968 Von Dedenroth reported in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis a stop smoking success rate of 94% over an 18-month period.

It is considered that the success rate will depend on the techniques used by the hypnotherapist (and these will vary from hypnotherapist to hypnotherapist, as there is no standardized procedure but you need to look for a hypnotherapist who has been practising for a long time. i have found that price is a good indicator or quality in this area.) and the desire for the smoker to stop smoking. make sure they have a system in place and beware of the turn up and we will take things from there hypnotist working from a converted garage or spare bedroom.

Hypnosis works to help you break the habit of smoking. It can also help you become more calm, so that there are little or no “withdrawal” symptoms on stopping smoking. Many non-smokers report how easy it is to stop smoking using hypnosis.

Hollywood celebrities Ben Affleck, Samuel Jackson, Ellen Degeneres, Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore have all used hypnosis to stop smoking.  So how about you are you ready to stop smoking controlling your life?
