In this article I'm going to talk about a few non-nicotine pills. The physical withdrawal symptoms of quitting are extremely tough to get through, non-nicotine pills are a great option because they'll help your body to combat these symptoms, without giving it nicotine (the very thing your trying to break free of).



Chantix



Chantix is a non-nicotine cessation pill that has received a lot of attention as of late. It activates the same receptors to release dopamine (dopamine gives you the feeling of pleasure) in your body as nicotine would. It does this without actually using nicotine which helps you to get through smoking more effectively.



The thing that sort of freaked me out with Chantix was the nasty side effects of using the drug. The effects include nausea (30% of experience this), stomach pain, a loss of energy, increased appetite, and insomnia. The big reason why I was freaked out was its recent linkage to suicide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration stated in February of 2008 that "Health care professionals, patients, patient's families, and caregivers should be alert and monitor for changes in mood and behavior in patients treated with Chantix. Symptoms may include anxiety, nervousness, tensions, depressed mood, unusual behavior and thinking about or attempting suicide."



Zyban



Zyban works very similarly to the Chantix non-nicotine pill, except its made up of different components. It also boosts the body's levels of dopamine. Yet like Chantix, its brings with it negative side effects. The side effects include a change in appetite, agitation, nervousness, and insomnia. A friend of mine took Zyban and was unable to sleep for 5 days straight.



The Problem



The medicine listed above can help your body to feel the same sorts of effects of smoking to help you quit, but they bring with it their own negative side effects which ironically makes it hard to go through.



I highly recommend using all-natural non-nicotine pills because they'll accomplish the same sort of effects your looking for (calming your body, lessening the cravings, dealing with body's stress) without nicotine. The reason I recommend using herbal non-nicotine pills is because since they are made up of natural ingredients, you won't experience the horrible side effects that Chantix or Zyban will give you. You'll be able to combat the withdrawal symptoms of quitting, without adding new side effects during the challenging first few weeks.
