Liferewards®
Why does CHAMPIX® come with its own support plan? To begin with, it's been shown that smokers trying to quit are more likely to succeed with the help of additional support than with medicine alone. CHAMPIX® is proven to be effective, but it's not a magic pill. For most people, smoking is both a physical and behavioural addiction. That's why we also offer a support plan. CHAMPIX® can help reduce the cravings and withdrawal symptoms usually associated with quitting smoking and also the pleasure obtained from cigarettes. LIFEREWARDS can help you learn to break your smoking routine. 12 weeks of CHAMPIX® + The LIFEREWARDS Support ProgrammeDeveloped by experts in smoking cessation, LIFEREWARDS was created for people taking CHAMPIX®. LIFEREWARDS gives you personalized support. The programme starts on your first day of treatment and lasts for 16 weeks. It's like having your own "virtual motivator" focused on helping you succeed.
