    Already way ahead of you there. Stocked up with lollies the other day, just for that hand to mouth movement. Bloody oral fixation! :eek:

    Just got back from doctors, she has given me champix tablets. Just taken my first tablet, so heres hoping. I have tried everything before and nothing has worked, I am 28 and have been smoking since i was about 15 around 20 a day but more like 50 a day if i go out to the pub.

    Wish me luck

    I've left the thread, but stay strong!
