Smoking is one of the leading causes of death, with over 5 million people dying of cigarette-related causes every year. All of these deaths are easily preventable. Still lots of people begin smoking every day and once they begin many find it difficult to quit. That is why stop smoking aids are becoming so popular.



One of the most successful quit smoking method is the stop smoking injection or vaccine with a reported 70 to 80% success rate. These injections are done by a physician in a clinic. Combining these shots with other methods like group therapy makes them even more effective.



Stop smoking injections work by blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain. This way the brain will no longer desire nicotine (the addictive substance found in cigarettes) and the urge to smoke disappears. When the body no longer feels the need for nicotine the need to smoke will go away.



In most cases just one stop smoking shot will be enough. Unlike other stop smoking methods these injections are done by medical professionals. They will perform a thorough health check and monitor you to see if you need additional shots.



Stop smoking injections are not expensive at all compared to the benefit you receive from them. You should also bear in mind the cost of all the cigarettes you will be buying if you don´t quit. These injections are usually also covered by health insurance.



So far no negative side effects have been reported with quit smoking shots. This, combined with its effectiveness is one of the main reasons why they are so successful.

There are so many ways to quit smoking but how do they all work and where should you start?



Patches, pills or injections? How about all three at the same time, will that work? Let's educate ourselves about these programs and see how they differ.



Patches



Patches are a type of nicotine replacement therapy. The idea is that you switch immediately from smoking cigarettes to using patches. Then, over a 12 week period, you reduce the dose of the patch until eventually you stop taking the low dose and, in theory, you don't need to start smoking again.



So how do they work? Well, a patch is like a small band-aid and you slap it onto a fatty part of your body. Usually people will stick one on the upper arm but you can even put them on your backside!



You should only use one patch a day and don't sleep with it on overnight. Each day, you should put the patch on a different part of the body so switching arms each day could work.



Pills



Surprisingly, pills to quit smoking have not been around for very long. But recently there are two pills that have been used to treat smoking.



The first one is Zyban and the second is Chantix. What is the difference between the two? Chantix is said to have a higher success rate at quitting than Zyban but the drawbacks are an alleged higher incidence of side effects. For instance nausea but also more serious side effects.



They both work on the brain chemistry to reduce the pleasure of cigarettes and the cravings for cigarettes so they make quitting much easier. You are not supposed to quit as soon as you start taking them but after about a week.



Injections



The idea of having a stop smoking program that just involved a couple of shots every now and again sounds enticing. What if we could cure smoking in the same way that we could cure diseases?



Currently, there are no approved stop smoking shots available on the market but there are many under development and in trials that will probably be available within 5 years.



They will work in a very similar way to the pills - they will cut the cravings and the perceived enjoyment from cigarettes. They are not a true vaccine because there is no production of antibodies in your body so the effects are not permanent.

If you are one of those millions of smokers who are looking to quit smoking, and have tried every one of those ways to stop smoking without positive results, then the stop smoking injection might just be the thing for you. Built on two FDA approved drugs - Atarax and Scopolamine, both of these substances are used to combat nicotine craving and therefore, help in reducing the desire of smoking.



Smoking leads to an eruption of a large number of nerve endings, which produce acetylcholine when you smoke, and for some time after you have quit smoking. Having these neurotransmitters (acetylcholine) acted upon in such a way that they do not send signals of nicotine withdrawal to your brain (and body) leads to your feeling normal without smoking.



The injection starts working within 24-48 hours after its consumption and therefore, injecting yourself just when you have quit smoking, can prepare your body to fight against all the side effects of nicotine withdrawal. It takes 3-4 days for the body to completely get rid of the last traces of nicotine and permanent blockage of the neurotransmitters might take around two weeks. Till that time, additional oral medication should supplement injection doses, in order to equip the body to fight the side effects better.



One of the most visible shortcomings of the injection is that it does not make the smoker realize about the actual causes of smoking and why it is harmful for him. Besides that, following up the treatment with lectures and interactive sessions on behavioral modification becomes a must if you are looking to take a shot to quit smoking.
