Champix - The "Quit Smoking" Prescription Drug

Smoking Effects

Do you smoke? Have you ever stopped to think about how smoking is affecting your body and your life? We are aware that people who have smoked for awhile can get lung cancer and emphysema and eventually die, but many don't know about all of the bad things that smoking can to them right now.

Anti-Smoking Commercial

Champix is the latest medication for smoking cessation released by Pfizer. It is a prescription only medication that was approved for sale in the UK just last year. It is believed to help even the most addicted smokers kick off the habit.

The active ingredient in Champix is varenicline tartrate, a chemical that restricts the work of the nicotine receptors in the human brain. When taken in the form of Champix, varenicline joins with the nicotine receptors and stops them for attaching with nicotine. The receptors and thereby the brain is fooled into thinking it is nicotine and the smoker gets satisfaction even without smoking. It is ideal to buy Champix as it fulfils the craving for a cigarette even though it is actually a medicine.

Originally launched in the US as Chantix, Champix received approval for prescription sale in the UK as Champix. In all the extensive clinical trials conducted, Champix has proven itself to be the most effective anti-smoking medication till date. The company claims the reason for Champix being so effective is its ability to rob the smoker from the pleasure she/he derives from smoking.

Let us take a look at how nicotine affects you. When you inhale nicotine through cigarette smoke, its first action is to increase the production of dopamine in the body. This dopamine gives you a feeling of relaxation. Champix acts in much the same manner as nicotine – it also increases the amount of dopamine produced. This causes you to forget your craving for a cigarette and slowly gets you off the habit. Buy Champix today to get started on your efforts to quit smoking.

What are the health benefits of stopping smoking?

The risk of getting cancer and other diseases reduces after you stop smoking, including:

  • The risk of cancers of the mouth, throat and oesphagus are halved after you have quit for five years.
  • The risk of cancer of the lung is halved after you have quit for ten years.
  • The risk of heart disease is halved after you have quite for one year, and after fifteen years the risk is almost as low as if you had never smoked.
  • The risk of a low birth weight baby is removed if you quit before you fall pregnant or during the first three months of pregnancy.
  • Lung function increases by up to 10% between three and nine months after quitting, improving your "smoker's cough" and wheeziness.
