I'm retired ... and involved heavily with research.
So, I'm on the computer a lot and the TV is on
in the background.

There's a shocking high number of drug commercials ending
with disclaimers that the drugs can kill you
AND
Tons of Attorney commercials stating if you took the drug (xyz) ...
Call them because you too could be eligible for financial compensation
for your life being destroyed.

To me ... it is Painfully OBVIOUS most Americans don't
know how to research and never heard of the OLE saying ...
When doing research, the last person you want to talk to
is the salesman.

Well, that's asking for a tragedy. At least, for me anyways my teen years were bad enough. The hormonal induced episodes of psychosis and depression I can't imagine how much worse that roller-coaster would of been on Chantix. The teenage brain is going through more growth, and changes since infancy. Consider that. Chantix is the LAST thing that should be in the mix! They're probably hoping Chantix would cause a permanent change in the brain to no longer want nicotine. However there's way too many probably permanent mental health problems that could also happen. No beuno.
