Would be helpful if folks posted some comments.

From the article:
"For those who wish to quit smoking, it may be best to rely on treatments that have been shown to be safe and effective, such as prescription medications or the nicotine patch, until more research becomes available," Dr. Kendzor says.


Right. Absolutely. <--sarcasm

The Electric(man)Troll at it again- same argument every time- looks like a cut and paste job. I guess he has nothing better to do.

This is why I have no interest in medications like Chantix

As of July 1, 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration requires Chantix (varenicline) to carry a black box warning, the agency's strongest safety warning, due to public reports of side effects including depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions.

A long time friend of mine tried Chantix for a while. He dropped it when he realized he was actually having that particular side effect.

So sick of that troll.... <sigh> But, there's one in every crowd. Best to just ignore and keep posting the facts and experiences, as we seem to be doing (for the most part).

I would very much advise people to not respond to the troll. You actually give them credibility by doing so. Just ignore him, completely. Lay out the facts and let it speak for itself. With so many responding to him you make him the center of attention instead of the fact that ... is helping millions of people quit smoking.
