Home | Health & Fitness | Quit Smoking Smokers find it very difficult to quit smoking as they become dependant on nicotine which according to them gives a kick like none other. When you inhale cigarette smoke, the nicotine in it reaches the brain and binds with the receptor cells which trigger a pleasure sensation. In smokers language this is described as ‘the kick’. Chantix contains a chemical varenicline, which has similar properties to nicotine. It binds to the brain receptor cells triggering the same pleasure sensation as nicotine. Once done it does not allow nicotine to reach the receptor cells. Varenicline is non-addictive and as a smokers uses the drug it slowly takes away the nicotine dependency. This also makes withdrawal easy as the withdrawal symptoms are milder and easy to manage. Once you have decided to quit smoking, you must set a definite quit by date and begin using Chantix. This drug once used makes smoking less appealing to a smoker. Gradually the smoker does not crave for a cigarette at all. The whole therapy is spread over a period of about 3 months. Like any other drug, Chantix must also be taken under medical advice and supervision. The exact duration of the treatment may differ from individual to individual. During clinical trials it was established that Chantix may actually interfere with drugs taken for diabetes, blood thinning and asthma. Pregnant and breast feeding women must be careful as Chantix is marked in category ‘X’ meaning that it may harm the fetus or the child through milk. Chantix is classified as an adult drug and must only be used by individuals over 18 years of age. Always buy Chantix against a valid prescription issued by your doctor. Keep the drug away from the reach of children and store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight and moisture. While Chantix provides a medium for you to quit smoking by ‘fooling’ the brain receptor cells, your determination is the ultimate key to your success. Seek help and support from like minded groups, family and friends. Everybody around you will greatly appreciate your efforts and lend a helping hand to you to lead a healthy life.
