Chantix

Chantix (varenicline) is a prescription medication that helps people stop smoking by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It works by targeting nicotine receptors in the brain, diminishing the pleasurable effects of cigarettes and easing the quitting process. Typically used over a several-week period, Chantix requires medical supervision due to potential side effects, including mood changes or sleep disturbances. It is most effective when combined with counseling or support programs, increasing the chances of successfully quitting smoking.
