A British television executive committed suicide two months after he started taking the smoking cessation drug Champix, which is marketed as Chantix in the United States.

Omer Jama, 39, of Bolton, England, was a Sky Sports video editor who was taking the drug to try and kick his pack-a-day habit; it is being reported by London’s Daily Mail.

What do you think? Do you or someone you know take Chantix?

The French woman who had sought the legal right to commit suicide to end the suffering caused by an incurable and disfiguring cancer killed herself with sleeping tablets, authorities said.

Chantal Sebire, 52, whose face was distorted by a rare cancer of the sinus, was found dead in her home in eastern France last week, shortly after a court ruled that a doctor could not be allowed to help her die.

The Food and Drug Administration is investigating a link between the asthma drug Singulair and suicidal behavior, according to a news release Thursday.

The FDA has requested Singulair’s manufacturer Merck & Co. evaluate the drug’s data for more information about suicidality and mood changes, according to the news release.

The agency is also reviewing the post-marketing reports of patients who have reported such behavior after taking the drug.
