The list of stop smoking aids is growing steadily, with more tools to add to the arsenal of person aspiring smoke-free. There were non-nicotine prescription drugs available only for a long time, but often produced inconsistent results. The latest stop smoking medications do not claim yet to be able to help every single quitter, but are, according to many experts, much more effective than previous offerings.



Sometimes, the aids that are supposed to help people quit smoking contain nicotine. Ironically, this is the very drug that smokers are attempting to get out of their system. However, the idea is that, in controlled doses, these new stop smoking medicines can help wean the smoker out of their drug addiction.



So far, quit smoking drugs don't seem to be very effective. Both researchers as well as those who use the drug stop smoking are discovering that the treatment has little effect on their desire for nicotine. Shortly go back to smoking for their daily fix. Experts hope to new drugs stop smoking, which also eliminates the effects of nicotine, best price.



The newest medication stop smoking goes by the name of Varenicline medical and is sold under the name ' Chantix '. It is not a nicotine replacement therapy, works by reducing the pleasure received from smoke and eliminates the effects of nicotine, so that eventually you do not feel any need to smoke more.



Replacement therapies are not always effective



Replacement therapies have been available for many years, together with a drug called bupropion, which was sold under the name Wellbutrin and was originally intended to be used as an antidepressant. Wellbutrin was found to help people who wanted to quit smoking, so it was renamed as Zyban and is now being sold as an aid to quit smoking. Once again, this medication is effective in some cases only, but it's always helpful to have another option in your arsenal to quit smoking.



Preliminary tests showed that 44% of people using Chantix stop smoking as a drug had been successful after the first 12 weeks. Researchers are looking at the long-term effects of the drug and monitor patients closely in their quest to remain smoke free. Chantix is a smoking cessation medication approved by the FDA, which is good news if you're trying to quit, as it means that many insurance companies will cover the drug.
