Lead a Smoke Free Life
01 Dec. 2006
If you are a smoker you must read this note. If you are a non-smoker
then also you must read this note and help smokers quit the habit. We
all know that smoking is not a healthy habit but we still engage and tolerate
the nuisance. Anti smoking awareness is catching up and even the Federal
bodies are declaring smoke free zones with penalty for violators. It is
very difficult to say how many smokers are there in the world but the
alarming point is that more women and young children are taking up this
habit.
Pfizer's Chantix has been
launched in the market and has proved to be a successful anti smoking
drug. It contains a chemical compound verinecline which tricks the brain
into accepting is as a nicotine substitute making the smoker give up the
habit. Verinecline, via the blood stream, reaches the brain and binds
with the nicotine receptor cells making them release pleasure sensation
that the smokers seek while smoking. As the smoker continues to take Chantix
the pleasure received from smoking diminishes as verinecline has already
done its job. This also makes it easy to handle the withdrawal symptoms
making it easy to quit smoking altogether.
There is a general feeling that smokers have only respiratory disorders.
Some even dispute nicotine being a carcinogen. But the truth is that smoking
is definitely linked with COPD, Erectile Dysfunction and Cancer. Pregnant
mothers risk defects in unborn child. Passive smokers are not spared and
end up have getting unnecessary complications. Still we continue to smoke
and tolerate fellow smokers. Chantix is safe but may cause some allergic
reactions. It is known to interfere with some medications (used for diabetes,
asthma and blood thinning) and must always be taken under qualified medical
advice.
Take the prescribed dose and do not share your medication with others
as your needs are unique.
Chantix is an adult medicine and must be kept out of children's reach.
Chantix is a medium to assist you to quit
smoking. Your determination and support from friends and family will
play a big role in your favour. Do take help, if necessary.
Remember that smoking does not help you in any way. In fact you end
up doing some serious irreversible damage to your body and repent when
it is too late.
So take our advice and get rid of the smoke before you go up in smoke.
