Stop Smoking in One Day
Label:
Stop Smoking
First off, you must ask yourself the following questions:
a) Why do I smoke? Alternately; why did I start smoking? A basic understanding of your tobacco motivation is necessary, since there may or may not be underlying causes that need to be addressed to make it easier to stop - stress, peer pressure, etc.
b) Do I truly want to quit? If you don't, no amount of self-help advice is ever going to offer lasting assistance. Without the will, there is no way.

Indonesian Child Smoker
Label:
Start Smoking
Ardi Rizal is just a two-year-old boy, but is not less than a chain smoker.
Rizal who lives in a fishing village Musi Banyuasin, Indonesia, smokes at least 40 cigarettes in a day. He got addicted to smoking after his father gave him a fag when he was just 18 months, reports thesun.co.uk.
He weighs more than 25 kilograms and finds it almost impossible to run with other kids.
‘He’s totally addicted. If he doesn’t get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick,’ said her mother Daina.
Rizal smokes a particular brand and his habit costs his parents more than $5 a day.
The officials of the village have offered to buy the family a car if he quits.
However Rizal’s father Mohammed, a fishmonger finds no problem with his habit and believes his son is quite healthy.
‘He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem,’ said Mohammed.

Varenicline aka Champix
Label:
Stop Smoking
What is Champix?
Champix, generic name varenicline, is a prescription pill designed to help smokers stop smoking.
How does it work?
Champix works primarily in two ways. Firstly, it reduces the smoker's craving for nicotine by binding to nicotine receptors in the brain and reduces the symptoms of withdrawal. Secondly, it reduces the satisfaction a smoker receives when smoking a cigarette.

Zyban and Chantix
Label:
Stop Smoking
Zyban and Chantix are two different pills that can be used as an aid to smoking cessation. The pills must be prescribed by a doctor after detailed evaluation. They both increase the chance to become smoke-free, but they are not miracle cures.
Zyban Nicotine Pills Are Not Recommended For
Label:
Stop Smoking
The stop smoking pills are available only with a doctor’s prescription. It’s particularly significant to get a doctor’s advice, because Zyban is certainly not right for everyone. The drug is not recommended for:
* Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
* People with a history of eating disorders, such as bulimia or anorexia nervosa.
* Anyone who is currently taking or has recently taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO) medication for depression.
* People already taking Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, or other medicines that contain bupropion hydrochloride.
* People who have a seizure disorder, such as epilepsy.
Seizures disorders are a special concern. Bupropion is known to cause seizures in approximately 1 out of every 1,000 people taking bupropion hydrochloride. Although this is a small risk, it may be an important factor for people deciding whether or not to use this drug. Other common side effects include dry mouth and difficulty in sleeping.

How stop smoking pill work for smokers
Label:
Stop Smoking
The drug boosts the body’s levels of two “brain chemicals,” dopamine and norepinephrine - the same thing that occurs with nicotine. Actions of these chemicals in the brain give people a sense of energy and well being. Nicotine produces the same feelings.
According to the advertisements, using bupropion allows smokers to get the same feeling, while weaning them off nicotine. For many people, this helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and lessens the urge to smoke.
But like other nicotine replacement products, the stop smoking pill should be used in combination with a quit-smoking behavior modification program.
In one study, the stop smoking pill helped more smokers to quit than the nicotine patch. Using both the pill and the patch was even more effective, but the combination poses the risk of increasing blood pressure.
Zyban is usually taken twice a day - one pill in the morning and one in the early evening. It takes about a week for the pill to reach an effective level in the body. So smokers must start taking the pill before they quit smoking. Then you set a Quit Day within one to two weeks after starting treatment. Most smokers then take the pill for a total of seven to twelve weeks.
