Here's just some of what's been going on with chantix since 2011. Chantix Lawsuit and Litigation News. The FDA and CDC were bought off as usual.
Ike, thank you for that. Skimmed and now I need a tranquilizer. Kidding, don't take them, but it did tick me off. I'll read it tomorrow when I'm awake.

I tried Wellbutrin, not a funny joke. Not funny at all.

I see that's published back from 2011, before the latest BS from last year. Probably read it before, gives me a boost in getting all POed again. This will be what smokers wishing (desperately, like I was) to quit will be faced with with by those "authorities;" try a drug proven to cause suicide or murder, it's a healthier choice than smoking. BS. The madness needs to stop. Period.

TuTu, Pfizer, the maker of Chantix, was slapped with a class action lawsuit which was settled in 2014 I believe. At one time the FDA was making noises about making them put TWO black boxes on it, but I haven't seen any more about it.......and it's still being sold and advertized on TV. :(
Suddenly, it has become not only safe, but extremely effective, with an over 60% success rate!

Champix and Zyban have stopped being dangerous

Lessifer, please consider sending out a petition update for this...
CASAA: Help German Vapers oppose the TPD! Sign the petition to German Parliament.

Can non-eu/non German residents even sign? I hate signing something if my sig is disqualified for some reason.

Thanks DC, I saw that earlier today and had meant to, thanks for reminding me.

Ca Ike, yes, non-eu residents can sign, it is more involved than a change dot org petition, so some reading and registration is involved.

ETA: Done

I took Chantix. I attempted suicide a few months after quitting the drug. Had a history of depression though. Hey, wanna know how I got these scars...?

Just an anecdote. I'd rather alter my brain with nicotine, I just enjoy the lack of carbon monoxide and tar (among other icky things) while inhaling it. Thanks, vaping! I signed this a few months ago

Very glad you survived the Chantix ordeal (and have the courage to share your ordeal, don't short change yourself) and found vaping. Always some to shiny have! And thank you for signing the petition!

Les, that was fast. :) I have to get over my personal hangups about asking German's not to kill their own people (yes, I know, my problem), how long do we have to sign the petition?

I may not post as much lately, but I'm usually around here somewhere :D

Deadline for the German petition is January 20th. I'm not entirely sure how things work in the EU, but perhaps if one of the countries chooses not to adopt section 20(?) of the TPD, others may follow suit.
