Do you guys realize that we smokers are almost like a band of lepers, if you happen to know anyone who owns an uninhabited desert island then point the way because very soon we will need somewhere to run if we fancy a puff.

Smoking is taking the blame for cancer, heart disease and probably anything else you would like to mention, but what of the people who have never smoked and yet they still suffer from these dreaded diseases.

What about the innocent country folk that live in the pure fresh air. They don’t smoke, and they steer clear of those nasty smoke laden bars but they still manage to contract the diseases.

I am not saying I approve of smoking but I am trying to point out that smokers are not really the ones to blame. If they harm anyone it is them selves.

Have you wondered what causes acid rain? I was walking home one day and a slight drizzle started, the rain although very slight was stinging my face.

Do you honestly believe that by stopping everyone from smoking you will eradicate cancer and the amount of people who will still get it?

Will nuclear power stations be banned, electricity pylons and mobile phone pylons that have been proved to cause cancer! Will we get rid of them? What of all the chemical factories and pesticides that are sprayed on fruit and vegetables are they proved innocent of causing us harm?

If you wonder why millions of people are contracting these dreadful diseases its quite simple!  The march of time has caught up with us. All the new fangled gadgets that we all go mad for what do they contain! And how could we manage without our PCs and mobile phones etc. We are causing our own problems; and stopping people smoking is the tip of the iceberg. It won’t improve your life just their own, because as time goes on people will want bigger and better things and nothing comes without a price.

Now you guys if you want to stop being a leper and have your addiction eradicated for good here is your best chance.

No its not 100% positive it couldn’t be that easy but there is an improved chance of success if you stick with it, so lets get serious.

Most people would love to stop smoking for one reason or another, it may not kill you off but you will definitely start to feel like a healthy being if you do stop. Breathlessness is one of the biggest problems, if you have been smoking for years then the longer you continue smoking the worse it will get, so do yourself a favor and make that decision to stop, or to at least try your best to do so.

Champix is an anti smoking pill that is different to any other; it fools your brain into believing that the urge to smoke has been satisfied.

This unique new treatment has been specifically designed to help people stop smoking.  It is believed to work by reducing the urge to smoke and alleviating the withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. If a person smokes a cigarette while receiving treatment, the medicine has the potential to diminish the sense of satisfaction associated with smoking.

Champix approval was based on a comprehensive clinical trial program including four trials which involved approximately 4,000 cigarette smokers. On average the subjects had smoked about 21 cigarettes a day for approximately 25 years. Two identically designed studies showed that patients receiving a 12-week course of varenicline therapy (1 mg twice daily) had nearly four times the odds of quitting against those taking placebo, and they had nearly twice the odds of quitting against those patients taking bupropion SR (150 mg twice daily) at the end of the 12-week course of therapy. Patients in these studies were provided with educational materials and received brief smoking-cessation counseling at each clinic visit. It was followed for an additional 40 weeks without treatment.

After one year, approximately one-in-five patients who received the 12-week course of varenicline remained smoke-free. In a separate study those patients who quit at the end of 12 weeks with varenicline, showed that an additional course of 12 weeks treatment with varenicline resulted in a greater likelihood of long-term success in quitting smoking.
