Subject: We demand an immediate Champix ban !
Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,
We demand an immediate Champix ban and a EU wide public information about the dangers of the Antismokers product Champix (Chnatix, Varenicline) . Not only we, smokers, are scared about our lives and health (healthy smokers commit suicide after only a few weeks), but also Non smokers are very much in danger through Champix, as ppl (often forced to take Champix not to lose their work) provoke accidents. .
and NOT though Tobacco smoke exposition, as the Judment of the European Court (case Labate) and many scheintifical studies prove it. .
Are we only sure, that Pilots, (School)bus drivers, air-traffic controllers, Train drivers, Wappened security or police staff also have a champix ban in the EU?
I shall add, that the very upset smokers, bar owners, waiters, Cigar clubs, and employees in tourism and hospitalities did make the difference in irland for the NO. And also at the elections in France, in Bavaria, in UK... Please stop the ban-oppression of the (WHO)EU and there could be a reconciliation between EU citizens and the EU itself.
Thank you for a urgent intervention.
Regards
Austrian Smokers Movement

Pilots, air-traffic controllers, truck and bus drivers barred from taking smoking-cessation drug varenicline [Champix (Chantix in US)] Pfizer
FAA spokesperson Les Dorr told heartwire that the organization had previously permitted pilots and air-traffic controllers to take the drug; by their estimate, about 150 pilots and 30 air-traffic controllers were taking varenicline [Champix]at the time of the group's decision. They have now been told to stop taking it and to stay away from work for 72 hours, Dorr said.
Dorr explained that the FAA had made the decision in response to a recent report issued by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) [1] and based on adverse-event reports collected by the FDA. According to the ISMP report, there were 227 domestic reports of suicidal acts, thoughts, or behaviors; 397 cases of possible psychosis; and 525 reports of hostility or aggression in people taking varenicline. Included in these totals were 28 suicides, 41 "mentions of homicidal ideation," 60 cases of paranoia, and 55 cases of hallucination. Moreover, the report also cites "other kinds of serious harm for which no warnings now exist," either from the company or the FDA. These include accidents and injuries (173 events); vision disturbances (148 events); heart-rhythm disturbances (224 events); seizures and muscle spasms/movements (458 cases); skin reactions (338 cases); and diabetes (544 cases).

The European Medicines Agency also examined some of these concerns in July, and decided then that no action was needed. [!!!]
