Despite the fact that people already know about the adverse effects of smoking, many are still addicted to cigarettes. They smoke not just because of addiction but because of various reasons such as obesity, stress, social status, and so many others. But by the time that they already feel that the nicotine is taking toll on their body, they started to look for ways on how they could cut back on the number of cigarettes they consume. Eventually, they want to get rid of smoking completely.



One of the options on how they could quit smoking is through the use of nicotine replacement or Chantix. It is a kind of pill that does not have even a small amount of nicotine in it. How Chantix works? The contents of the Chantix bonds to the receptors of the nicotine located in the brain. Therefore, it would decrease one's dependence on nicotine. At the same time, they would no longer crave for that smoke as well.



The dependency and the reason why they want to smoke again are all because of the dopamine - a chemical in the brain that makes people feel the pleasure. Once the dopamine is blocked by the Alpha4beta 2 present in Chantix, the smoker will no longer feel that smoking is gratifying. And since there will be no more satisfaction when they smoke, they would eventually cut back on the number of cigarettes that they smoke everyday and would quit sooner or later.



However, the efficiency of Chantix would depend on how religious you would take the pills. For about 12 weeks, you must take the Chantix pills two times a day. And if you noticed that within that timeframe there are positive results, you may opt to have another set of Chantix for 12 weeks again. And just like any other pills, Chantix too have side effects as well. But of course this varies depending from one person to another. Some of the adverse effects while taking Chantix include vomiting, headache, and nausea. There were also claims that the smokers taking the said pill were having troubles getting sleep. Some were even getting abnormal dreams at the same time.



Therefore if you want to quit smoking without pushing yourself so much try to take advantage of the positive effects brought by Chantix. You will notice that quitting this addiction is not really as hard as you think.
