Thanks for your question Elizabeth. You may mean Chantix Oral :

This medication is used in combination with a stop-smoking program (e.g., education materials, support group, counseling) to help you quit smoking. Varenicline works by blocking nicotine's actions in the brain.

If so you can see our material on this drug here.

Thank you for your input

Just to clarify, "Champix" is the European/outside of US trade name for the oral drug Chantix (Varenicline) by Pfizer.
