Does Champix work?

Yes, Champix does work very well when it comes to quitting smoking. The Champix success rate is among the highest success rates of any smoking cessation aid. Research suggests that Champix is the most effective medicine for people looking to stop smoking, which is why it is so popular. According to clinical study data, Champix has been shown to more than double your chances of quitting smoking permanently. About one in five people succeed in stopping smoking with Champix, compared with about one in 10 who try to stop without using Champix.

How does Champix work?

Champix doesn't contain any nicotine, instead, it blocks the action of nicotine in your brain to reduce the enjoyment that you get from smoking, which means that a cigarette won't satisfy you in the same way and also helps to reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. When you smoke, nicotine from your cigarette attaches itself to receptors in the brain, which releases dopamine (a "happy" chemical) and gives you the euphoric feeling associated with smoking. Champix works in a similar way - by attaching to the same receptors and releasing dopamine too. This mimics the effect of nicotine on the body, and stops you from feeling the withdrawal symptoms and cravings that are associated with quitting smoking. Champix also blocks the effects of nicotine. Because varenicline is already attached to the receptors in your body, nicotine is prevented from attaching properly. So even if you have nicotine in your system from smoking, it can’t create that happy feeling that smoking normally elicits. The result of this is that there is no big increase in dopamine levels after you smoke, which stops the normal feelings of pleasure after a cigarette, ultimately reducing the rewarding and reinforcing effects of smoking.

It is disputed as to Champix's role in worsening these conditions; the increase in frequency of such events is statistically insignificant and often mimics nicotine withdrawal, even without Champix.
