as a way to help stop smoking? I took Chantix when I quit smoking but it was the worst poison I have taken in my life with side effects that have lasted until now. Unfortunatly I don´t live in the US to sue the lab that makes it. But I wish they stopped making it. By the way, if I lived in the US, I´d sue the FDA too.
What´s your experience with the said poison? Would you tll anyone to use it? Share!

My friend, I really do not know the thing, but imagine it must be medication to quit smoking, isnt it? Well, it is sad it did good as well as bad by affecting your health, mylotters who faced similar problem can speak up too and may residents of USA who think they are victmins of this terrible medication can sue. I know sueing huge companies like this will be a very expensive exercie some governement departments should help. Write to FDA and other about your expereince and they will investigation that company.

In my country noone sues these multinational labs. There is no law against it and money is the law

yes, you can sue but you need money to sue these huge companies. But if you speak up and make a complaint (that is when a doctor medical proves that your ocndition is the result that treatment) to governemtn organization, NGO, others which can get the attention of the company and they can compensate you.

It is also sold by the name Champix. I did give up smoking but I have a couple of friendas that are psychiatrists and they told me that if you are not decided to quit, no Champix or Chantix will make you quit forever. You can stop for a couple of months, while you feel rotten due to the pills, but you´ll start again.

Ahh, I did not realise that they were 1 & the same product lol...i agree, no matter what you use to help give up smoking, you will only be successful IF you want to give up & have the determination & will power to do so.

I think it is a lot more dangerous than smoking. Smoking kills less people than wars and plain hunger.

I know there are many reasons why we shouldn´t smoke. But taking Chantix is not a good way for quitting it.

I advice that you see a medical doctor who will assist you in a more ideal way on the best way to stop smoking. Do not take any medication without doctor prescription.

A doctor gave me the prescription then. But that does not ensure safety when big labs such as Pffeizer make a organization such as FDA to accept a medication without proper checking.
