Smoking-please Try to stop.

Perhaps the lung cancer was a secondary cancer to his liver cancer.

Well all i have to say is if someone smokes for 20 years and gets on chantix and stops for awhile heck yeah there gonna be suicidal.  Its the nicotine withdrawl.  By the way i am not a smoker and damn glad i am not.  I am a nurse and we diagnodes a man this week with lung cancer so bad it had already gotten inot his liver.  He had no idea he had it and stoped smoking 20 years ago.  He has 6 months to live.  Is smoking worth it? think about it, life is short

This type of cancer occurring in this way does not have to be related to smoking. If the person stopped 20 years ago, and their cancer was due to smoking, there would have been signs of it long before now.

no its due to smoking he just didnt do anything with his signs he was shown because he had no money or health insurance.  Sad deal i think

I still think that it was a secondary cancer, not the primary. Assuming that the person had stopped smoking 20 yeas previously. Your message is somewhat confusing. Did he smoke for 20 years, then stop for a few months and take Chantix. Or had smoking ceased 20 years before? Big difference.

There was a television news story on Chantix just yesterday, which talked at length about psychotic episodes.

I am a nurse and we? diagnodes a man this week

So was I, and worked for 2 years in a Heart and Thoracic Surgery Unit, and I have a feeling you may well be right Jane. I don't think it would take 20 years for cancer to manifest if it was entirely due to smoking as you suggest melanie.
