Have a google on champix problems or champix lawsuits...

It is supposed to block the 'nicotine receptors' in the brain which is utter bollox - you don't have nicotine receptors any more than you have chocolate receptors or carrot receptors...

It works by blocking the pleasure you get from smoking - or anything else...

Try an e-cig - there are plenty on the market and have good results - you'd actually be better with snus but the EU has banned them - bastards!

Snus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus)

In Sweden it results in the lowest cancer rates and smoking rates for the whole of the EU - yet the EU have banned it...

they also want to ban e-cigs BTW so stock up quickly...

The EU tobacco control directive specifically targets them even though they are demonstrably 99% safer than fags...

But then, it has never been about health...  noooo:

They've opened a new smoking area for us in Gatwick, in between stands 144L and 135. Fine at the moment as the airport isn't too busy, however, come summer those stands will be occupied by planes and passengers will be bussed to these stands. I wonder how many will see us smoking and ask if they can use the facility before they board?  ;D   "X" marks the spot!

Just looked on an ex-pat forum and today they are complaining about smoking to bars, even the ones who do serve food......

what did these bastards do before the ban sit at home ...... cussing:  never go out to eat or have a beer.....
