Press Release Summary = Quitting smoking shall seem difficult but it is quite easy
because there are medications such as chantix that help a person for the same.

Press Release Body = Smoking really makes a person addict to it such that the person
feels the urge anytime or anywhere. Therefore, it becomes necessary to get the right
medication for anti cessation. Medicines such as Chantix have now come up to help
quitting smoking.

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 is usually taken twice a day for twelve weeks. It costs about $120 a month.
Not much insurance cover it, but Voth says, if you put it in perspective, it works
out to almost exactly the same cost as smoking a pack a day. He says if you quit,
you will save cash in the end, and lessen the risks of developing health problems
that are more likely if you keep smoking.

Medical experts say smokers have a tough time quitting because lighting up
physically lights up their brain.

\"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. Art Mollen 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.\"
