Most smokers doubt the effectiveness and the safety of quit smoking shots. How can this injection stop cravings for cigarettes? Can this procedure address both physical and mental addiction? Quitting smoking not only involves kicking the physical nicotine addiction but also the smoking habit.



Quit smoking shots immunize smokers from nicotine addiction by blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain. They can also relieve the physical withdrawal symptoms. However, this procedure has to be done by a doctor. The most common ones you see on advertisements is Welpex.



Welplex uses scopolamine and atropine, two dangerous substances. Both of them are extracted from Deadly Nightshade, a toxic perennial shrub. Although they are poisonous, scopolamine is a common component in prescribed motion-sickness medication. Doctors use atropine, a well known eye-dilating chemical during eye examinations.



SMART Shot, an improved version of Welplex, has been in the market for more than a decade. Unlike Welplex which requires three shots, SMART Shot only requires one shot. Instead of using atropine, SMART Shot uses atarax, an antihistamine.



Recently emerging is QUIT 1-2-3, a new shot. QUIT 1-2-3, also requires a doctor's administration. QUIT 1-2-3 is different than SMART Shot; it also treats the psychological factors associated with nicotine addiction. You have access to continual behavioral coaching and support to help you remain smoke-free.



This treatment proves to be effective. Based on clinical trials of QUIT 1-2-3 involving 267 smoking men and 233 smoking women, 86 percent did not smoke again after 60 days of treatment. 71 percent did not go into relapse after six months.



The good thing about quit smoking injections is that you don't rely on nicotine replacement products such as nicotine patch and gum.



When the market releases a new treatment, smokers trying to quit are likely to give it a try, especially if they have tried and failed before. As you know, to finally give up smoking, you may have to try several times. You may wonder whether quit smoking shots will work for you. The best thing to do is to consult your doctor. Just give it the benefit of the doubt. You never know, it may be just what you need. If you have tried other methods before and are still smoking, why not try quit smoking shots instead?
