    Guess this doctor is not aware of Chantix side effects...
    "For smokers who are serious about quitting, he said, more reliable options would be to ask their physician for a prescription such as Chantix or to call the 800-QUITNOW hotline for assistance."

    I do like getting my arm stuck in vending machines, but I didn't see that on the list.

    My wife used Chantix. She only got one side effect, which was intense nightmares. It was bad enough she stopped taking it after 2 weeks. Did get her off smoking though. A little later she was struggling with wanting a smoke and she started vaping on the advice of a friend.

    I went up to the local head shop and got her an Ego kit, plus one for myself. So I suppose you could say Chantix got us both off the cigs.

    Chantix has been blamed over 500 deaths and more than 3000 hospitalizations. Those numbers are from articles between 4 and 7 years old so the actuals are probably significantly higher. Meanwhile the ecig related death toll stands at 1. That one death was a guy that thought it would be a good idea to load ejuice into a syringe and inject it directly into his veins.

    Which method is safer? Obviously that depends on if the person you are asking owns stock in Pfizer or not.

    or gets kickbacks or perks from prescribing those products, doctors are guilty and complicit in the corruption as well as the Big Pharma players...
