Chantix
This smoking cessation pill has been approved by FDA and is supposed to show lesser side effect. One special point about Chantix that I analyzed from my search is that it doesn’t use nicotine to help the smoker in quitting smoking. Different studies have stated that maximum people have successfully given up smoking using Chantix. This medicine has active ingredient varenicline tartrate” which help the smoker in overcoming withdrawal symptoms. I personally rate Chantix most effective than other stop smoking medicines.
There are different side effects of Chantix but these side effects are far less than its benefits. Most commonly experienced side effects of Chantix include headache, dizziness, dry mouth etc.
Zyban
This smoking cessation pill is also approved by FDA to help smokers in quitting smoking. Several health professionals suggest this medicine for people to treat cravings. Its effectiveness is more as compared to other smoking cessation medications like gums and nicotine patches. This medicine works on brain receptors and reduce desire to smoke again.

Smoking Cessation Pills


Smoking cessation is a complete process undertaken to uproot smoking desire in an addicted person. If a person tries to stop smoking without taking assistance from any healthcare professional or without following a proper smoking cessation plan, he will obviously find it difficult to get rid of this unhealthy habit. To go through smoking cessation plan different techniques are being used for instance smoking cessation laser therapy, smoking cessation hypnosis, smoking cessation acupuncture and smoking cessation pills. Each smoking cessation method works on different principle but with same motive to help a person in quitting smoking. Laser therapy, hypnosis, acupuncture are the methods that are used by specialists on addicts but smoking cessation pills are only suggested by doctors according to health conditions of a person then he himself keeps continuous use of smoking cessation pills without making frequent visits to doctors.

Why smoking cessation pills are used? These pills are used to relax smoking withdrawal symptoms. A person who skips cigarette from one to second time, it becomes difficult for him to stay away from smoking because of feelings of restlessness, depression, anxiety, nausea, dry throat, dizziness, fatigue, frustration, reduced concentration, weight gain, tightness in chest and cravings for more tobacco. Some people become impatient and again start smoking. To relieve these withdrawal symptoms, smoking cessation pills are being used. There are different pills that are used for this purpose.
Smoking cessation pills work on basis of special procedure to root out addiction for nicotine in cigarettes from mind and body of addicted person. These smoking cessation pills boost up energy level of two brain chemicals that are “Dopamine and Norepinephrine”. These pills perform same reaction as nicotine does to relax one’s mind. Basically these two chemicals work to boost energy in body and when a person develops habit of nicotine addiction, these chemicals in his mind become habitual of taking nicotine to refresh and become slow and cause the addicted person feel dizzy and other withdrawal symptoms if he skips smoking. When he takes smoking cessation pills, these chemicals gain their energy thus help a person feel fresh without cigarette.

There are many stop smoking pills available in market. While selecting one from variety of pills, a question that will instantly come into mind is which stop smoking pills are effective than all. Most commonly used stop smoking pills are Wellbutrin, Zyban and Varencline (Chantix).
Working of Stop Smoking Pills
Nicotine in cigarettes releases endorphins that stimulate the pituitary glands. These releases of cigarettes increase energy level and give the smoker a sense of satisfaction and pleasure. Stop smoking pills also release endorphins making the quitting experience the same pleasure without creating any harmful side effects. No side effects, is the actual reason that stop smoking pills are becoming so popular.
Zyban is a pill that has ability to relive nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Most commonly practiced nicotine withdrawal symptoms include headache, body etches etc. Smokers need to take stop smoking pills on daily basis continuously for more than two weeks till they feel change in their urge to smoke. No more than two pills should be consumed each day. I recommend not to use stop smoking spills without consulting a doctor no matter how many success stories have your heard from people about effectiveness of any stop smoking pills. There are some side effects of stop smoking pills like dry mouth and insomnia.
Smokers Refrained from Consuming Stop Smoking Pills
Stop smoking pills are not useful for all people. There are some side effects of stop smoking pills that can be dangerous for people suffering from serious diseases. For instance pregnant or breast feeding women, smokers suffering from bulimia, smokers having epilepsy and smokers with aliments such as digestive and stomach disorders should not use stop smoking pills or they should take doses of these pills according to instructions of their healthcare consultants.
