Smoking - Reporter's File - Taming That Overwhelming Urge to Smoke - NY Times Health
Like I'm one to talk; but anyone who thinks that smoking isn't unhealthy or dangerous to your health can be classified as a 'moron'.
Even I who unfortunately suffers with this terrible habit have come to terms over the last few years with the severity of it's risks.

The article mentions Chantix, a newer drug added to the market by Pfizer. The biggest difference with Chantix vs. the traditional Stop Smoking products is that Chantix does not provide the body with any nicotine whatsoever. The Chantix program generally starts allowing the first 7 days of usage (where the patient is taking half the strength of the rest of the program) is actually permitted to smoke.

I've heard rumors that cigarettes begin to taste worse and worse plus begin to yield less satisfaction as the patient begins days 4+.
My fault was that I forgot my Chantix at home on day 5 or 6 & just fell through since then.

It's not a miracle pill, it's a crutch that helps by blocking the brains nicotine receptors so that your body doesn't get the deficit message from the brain + won't allow any physical withdrawal.

However, the mental withdrawal is a whole other story that must be faced. That's where I keep falling. I am the type of person who's bombarded with stress every single day between work and other personal commitments and am fearful of it affecting my routine.

But hopefully you'll be seeing a post up on this blog real soon with much better news.

Life is too short to throw away; especially to the tobacco kings who are living like gods off of the world's money & lives.
