Put a hold on your smoking habits
Quitting smoking shall seem difficult but it is quite easy because there are medications such as chantix that help a person for the same.

/Pharmaceutical News Articles/ - NEW YORK, NY, October 29, 2006 - "Prior research has shown that the combination of behavior counseling and drug therapy is often more effective and cost-effective as health interventions than attempting to quit unaided," he added. According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, half of adult males are smokers in the Middle East. In total, the countries of the Arab Gulf Cooperation Council (AGCC) as a whole spend $800 million per year on tobacco.

Unlike patches and gums, which simply give you nicotine in another form, Chantix counteracts what nicotine does. Voth says Chantix increases dopamine levels so a person does not have withdrawal and, at the same time, it blocks the effects of nicotine, so if a person does smoke, they do not get the surges in dopamine, which means there's no physical reinforcement for the nicotine use.

"Chantix provides a unique and new treatment that was specifically designed to help people stop smoking," said Dr Bracken.

Medical experts say smokers have a tough time quitting because lighting up physically lights up their brain.
Studies reveal that more than 1.2 million people die each year from smoking-related diseases. By 2010, the World Health Organization predicts the annual global cost of tobacco-related illness will be about $500 billion, with Europe accounting for up to $165 billion of this sum.

"Public health campaigns have increased people's understanding of the harmful health effects of smoking so that smokers are educated and more motivated to quit. In addition, more smokers are trying to quit today as a result of smoke-free policies in Europe and they need our support," according to sources.

Three out of four smokers call their habit an addiction and say they want to end it, according to a Gallup poll in July. They are well aware of the health risks and the loving disapproval of family and friends.

Still, it can take some people three to five serious tries before they succeed in quitting, Dr. Bracken says.

"Smoking triggers the release of an addictive, feel-good brain chemical called dopamine," he says. "When people quit after they've been exposed to those bursts of dopamine every time they take a puff of a cigarette, they go through withdrawal."
