Smoking

Qwerty - as long as it works! Eventually he will not only feel better for not smoking but he'll be proud of giving up - it's a big achievement. My OH is still chuffed 13 years on!

(I'm glad the medication doesn't do double duty as animal feed. )

Lol apparently it been out a few years , I’ve got it wrong as usual you carry on smoking till the pills kick in then you stop smoking but carry on taking the pills for 12 weeks, I’m tired I think

That “r” made all the difference Qwerty 😀. I was interested in reading about it, when DH went to the stop smoking clinic they gave him nicotine patches, never heard of this.

Try Champix Enfys it’s me can’t spell and predictive text doesn’t help

How strange, never heard of that before.

edited: is that the right name Qwerty? I googled it and it came up as poultry and animal feed?? 😮

First time i have heard of someone being prescribed something,and being told to carry on smoking.

Today my OH went to his first smokers clinic, I’ve found it quite bizarre , she asked how much he smoked which is about 10 miniature cigars a day , he had to blow into a contraption and she asked if she had heard him properly number came up on the blowing thing was 9 , she said ususally smokers are about 20 , so is he healthier than we think? She’s given him tablets one morning and one night for 12 weeks called Champrix and to carry on smoking .
It is a medication that works in two ways. It reduces cravings for nicotine, but it also blocks the rewarding and reinforcing effects of smoking.

Evidence suggests it's the most effective medication for helping people stop smoking.
So carry on and we will see you in 2 weeks , I don’t know what I expected but after 12 weeks his craving will have stopped , oh ye of little faith qwerty , I hope so 🙏
