The Newest, and Best, Stop Smoking Option

Any idea how many of your listeners smoke tobacco? Any idea of how many of those smokers have tried in the past to quit without success? Or better yet, how many listeners know of someone they care about and wish they knew how to help that person quit?

As a physician, I cringe when I see people smoking and I've realized many people have not heard of a new product called Chantix. It came to the market this past year to help women and men quit smoking.

For most women, smoking's a habit picked up from days when socializing and drinking was THE thing to do. Well, smoking is no longer sexy and very few female smokers I know still want to smoke. Yet they do, and next to weight loss, to quit the smoking habit is perhaps the most difficult thing to do. One reason is the concern of not knowing what to do with the anxiety they smoke to relieve. Perhaps an even bigger reason, and no pun intended, is the very real fear of weight gain when giving up the smokes.

To date we've had the nicotine patch, the nicotine inhaler, the nicotine chewing gum and the prescription medication called Zyban. People have tried hypnotherapy, acupuncture, dietary changes and so on. Nevertheless, the best success rates have not been much better than 5-10% with a fairly high fall back rate.

Enter Chantix, a very effective product to help smokers stop cold. Chantix is different from other ways to quit. It contains no nicotine but works on the same receptors as nicotine. And it's the addiction to nicotine that makes quitting so hard. In the initial studies, nearly half of smokers quit with the 12 week program. That's almost one out of two, and that's what I've found in my practice as well!

Chantix has also developed a very good support system to assist with the behavioral issues related to quitting.

It is available only by prescription. However, the cost of this product is less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes per day! Think of the money one will save after stopping!

The cool thing is it doesn't matter if someone has smoked for one year or 20, this product can help make it happen. Obviously, it won't keep someone from smoking if they really want to. However, if there's an inkling of desire, talk to a healthcare provider about Chantix, and do it this week, or go to their website at Chantix.com. What have you got to lose, besides your health? It's your life and you deserve to have a healthy one!!!

To your health!
