Hi,
Welcome to ask a doctor service,

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your smoking habit.

It is very nice that you have motivated to quit smoking habit.

I would like to advise you can start on antidepressant like bupropion 150 mg in the initial stages.

You can try that by getting prescription based medicine.

Yes, definitely champix is more effective and systematized in its therapy when compared to Bupropion.

As, total duration of treatment with chanmpix is 3 months which is much more effective to control craving.
