NHS England offers an improved stop-smoking pill to help people quit

The post is incorrect. You start with 0.5mg once a day for 3days then at day 4 you take 0.5 mg twice a day. At day eight you move to 1mg twice daily and continue this for 12 weeks.

I have been smoking for 47 years, with many attempts to quit. I stopped smoking but now I vape and it seems to be even more addictive, so to reduce the vaping I bought some NRT shewing gum. The problem is that nicotine is always consumed.
Years ago the GP prescribed me Champix but I never took it, because some people even committed suicide, nasty nightmares and so on.
But now I probably would give it a try.

The nhs say its rolled out the new improved pill but where my stop smoking service says exactly the same don’t no when nhs will roll it out or is it a postcode thing ?I been smoking for 40 years this new pill seems like the real deal to stop smoking as it blocks out the part in the brain if nhs say it saves 85000 a year and its cheaper thsn patchs why are they not supplying to stop smoking service ?

After alot of begging have just been prescribed this medication. Good luck to me !

I was disappointed to learn that my local NHS stop smoking clinic does not prescribe this. Why, when it has received approval? I have just ordered a pack of 39 tablets from HealthExpress for £44.99. Hope it works!
