There are a number of products available on the market to help smokers kick the habit. Many products work by way of acting as a nicotine-distraction type therapy, and how well they work depends strongly on the quitter’s personal will-power and commitment to want to quit long-term. However, stopping smoking with new pill CHANTIX (varenicline) may possibly be one of the best support products on the market, as it works by dealing with both the psychological as well as the physical addiction to smoking, unlike many other products available.

How CHANTIX Works Physically

On the physical side to the addiction to smoking, this new stop smoking pill CHANTIX works by blocking nicotine from attaching to receptors in the brain. This creates a huge relief for the smoker as it helps to stop the body from craving nicotine. When nicotine is inhaled, it attaches to receptors in the brain, which work as messengers to various parts of the body, telling them to release a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine gives a sensation of pleasure and relief, which the body wants to repeat over and over again. Based on research, it appears that CHANTIX works by activating these receptors in the body and blocking nicotine from attaching to them. However, CHANTIX pills do not contain nicotine.

As well as physically, this new stop smoking pill CHANTIX also works by providing support psychologically as well. As it aids the smoker by relieving them of the cravings of nicotine, it can help a smoker to identify their smoking triggers and hence why they are smoking. For many this can be a stress reliever, habit in general, weight-loss aid or otherwise. In identifying this, people can help find alternative activities to smoking and learn to cope with withdrawal symptoms. For some people, chewing gum or exercising may help act as alternatives to smoking to relieve stress, distract them from old habits or/and feel better about themselves.

Taking CHANTIX

A full course of CHANTIX is about 12 weeks long and is a period that can be doubled in patients who successfully quit so as to increase the likelihood of keeping it a long-term habit. This new stop smoking pill should be taken after eating with a full glass (8 ounces of water) twice per day, and research has indicated that there are minimal side-effects in takers of taking the pill. Research of this new stop smoking pill has also indicated that quitters who stop smoking using CHANTIX have a higher chance of staying quitters than any other products on the market to date.
