    I used Champix so I assume that this is the same thing. Basically you will need to attend a doctor who will write a description for you. You will get a months supply initially and if I remember correctly you have to start taking them 10 days before you actually quit. You take one first thing in the morning and one last thing before you head for bed. I started taking them last August and I havent smoked since so I would highly recommend them. What they do is block the signal from your brain telling you that you want to smoke or at least I think thats the way they work. There is no nicotine in them. The great thing was for me the side effects were minimal - no cravings only an increase in appetite which you have to watch. Also, the only problem I had with them was at night where I found that the nightime tablet used to result in a broken sleep for me and often nightmares, as I was longer a non-smoker I stopped taking the one at night and I was fine. Again, it was nothing too severe - just my opinion.
    Good luck !!!1

    The quit rate with Champix is quite a bit better than either nicotine replacement (patches,gum etc) or the older oral medication Zyban(isn't used too often these days). The sleep disturbance is a common problem with the Champix - for some folk it settles down after a couple of weeks, but not with everybody. Worth sticking with it if you can though, I know some hardened smokers with 40 years experience of the dreaded weed quitting with Champix..

    I lost 2 stone! Stopped smoking (using Champix) and started a diet on the same day. Best of luck with giving up cigarettes.
