BREAKING THE NICOTINE
ADDICTION
Smoking

In the US 44.5 million adults smoke despite the known associations with
cancers, chronic diseases of the lungs, heart, blood system and increase
wrinkles. Smoking is responsible for one in five deaths and costs
the US health care system $167 billion annually.
Somking
is a difficult habit to break because of the poerful nicotine dependene
or addiction. Often it takes numerous attempts before a person successfully
quits smoking. Chantix acts directly on these nicotine receptors
and helps alleviate the withdrawal symptoms and decrases the severity of
the nicotine craving. Also while on Chantix , if you smoke,
the sense of satisfaction derives from the cigarette is diminished.
If you are
motiviated to stop smoking, CHANTIX will help you break your addiction.
If you have lapses while on Chantix after "quit day," you should continue
to attempt to quit. For some it takes a couple of weeks to get the
full effects of Chantix.
The initial
course of treatment is 12 weeks. If you successfully quit smoking
during these 12 weeks, it is recommended to take CHANTIX an additional
12 weeks to increase the likliehood of long term success.
If you are
not successful during the initial 12 weeks of therapy or relapse in the
future, once the factors contributing to the failed attempt have been identified
and addressed you should make another attempt of quitting with Chantix.
Smoking is a difficult addiction to break. You have to be motivated
and determined! Chantix is not a magic pill, it's and aid to BREAK
the physilogical nicotine addiction to smoking and YOU have to break the
habit.
