Early hours of Sunday morning we had a call to say that my BIL had had a massive heart attack-
this is a 42 yr old who cycles to work each day and swims lengths for an hour every Friday,not at all overweight and watches his diet.

The doctors said it was due to his smoking causing his valve to be blocked-thankfully his prognosis is good though!

I smoke a similar amount to him (4-8 a day and ONLY in the evenings) and the fear has set in!!! My DH and kids have begged me to stop too.

I have been prescribed Champix tablets to help me quit and was wondering if anyone else has had any success with them?
