Yes, I got that speil as well, but I also got an admission, that they have no way of checking and there are no stats one way or the other that proves beyond doubt that it makes any difference. The reason they put the no smoking rule in for transplants is about the pressure it places on the heart. So when you think about it, it shouldn't apply to you when you get a new one!!. I tried champix and I was back in the 70's LOL. What a trip that was!!. I found the nicorette spray helped the most, but at the end of the day, you just have to be serious about doing it.Fun fact #343 I can have cocaine or marijuana in my system and still receive a transplant but if there are any traces of nicotine, (even passive smoking levels) they will take me off the list.
That's why I stopped cold turkey. Either quit or don't get a heart.Yes, I got that speil as well, but I also got an admission, that they have no way of checking and there are no stats one way or the other that proves beyond doubt that it makes any difference.

Thank youCongrats Tonee on giving up the Ciggies.
I myself am another Champix success story. Have not had a Ciggie for 6 years and still don't miss it.
My Campix secret to not having as many side effects is to have a tablet with a meal.
From the moment I had my first Ciggie after taking the first tablet, that ciggie just tasted gross. I was going through a packet of Longbeach 20's at the same rate (or even slower) than I normally would go through a pack of Longbeach 40's.Thank you
Tbh I haven't had many side effects at all besides crazy dreams and from 8 hours sleep to 6.
