Chantix: The Best Way to Stop Smoking

A new stop smoking method has come out. Have you ever heard of Chantix before? This stop smoking aid has been proven to be more effective than any other stop smoking aid.

What is Chantix? Chantix is a prescription medicine specifically developed to help adults quit smoking. It contains no nicotine but works on the same receptors as nicotine. And it's the addiction to nicotine inhaled from smoking that makes quitting so hard. Chantix is proven to be effective, but it's not a magic pill. For most people, smoking is both a physical and behavioral addiction

How does Chantix work? There are receptors for nicotine in the brain. When smoke is inhaled, nicotine attaches to these receptors. This sends a message to a different part of the brain to release a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine gives a feeling of pleasure. But it only lasts for a short time. The body wants to repeat this feeling. Based on research, it is believed that Chantix works by activating these receptors and blocking nicotine from attaching to them. However, Chantix does not contain nicotine.

Taking Chantix Chantix comes in convenient weekly dose packs. Remember to always take Chantix as perscribed by your doctor.

Some important things to remember:

Chantix should be taken after eating.
Drink a full glass (8 ounces) of water with your dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the time of your next dose, wait. Then just take your next regular dose.
Tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking before taking Chantix. Especially tell your doctor if you take insulin, asthma medications, or blood thinners. When you stop smoking, there may be a change in how these and other medicines work for you.

How to get started: Choose a quit date when you will stop smoking. Start taking Chantix 1 week (7 days) before your quit date. This lets Chantix build up in your body. You can keep smoking during this time. Make sure that you try and stop smoking on your quit date. If you slip, try again. Some people need a few weeks for Chantix to work best.
