Tobacco is worse than Chantix??

Chantix - One of many billion dollar smoking cessation drugs

If youre a smoker and believe youre at risk of kicking the bucket next month Not to worry. There are countless drugs to help you quit. Seems like one of the latest drugs Big Pharma has to help you quit is Chantix.

Its not been around long enough to tell how many people have died or have become ill needing more drugs, but who cares. Its approved by the FDA - Right?
No point in worrying about the known side effects. Worrying is stress and apparently can cause heart attacks, stroke or other illnesses.

The following is not a joke
Some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions while using CHANTIX to help them quit smoking. Some people had these symptoms when they began taking CHANTIX, and others developed them after several weeks of treatment or after stopping CHANTIX. If you, your family, or caregiver notice agitation, hostility, depression, or changes in behavior, thinking, or mood that are not typical for you, or you develop suicidal thoughts or actions, anxiety, panic, aggression, anger, mania, abnormal sensations, hallucinations, paranoia, or confusion, stop taking CHANTIX and call your doctor right away. Also tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems before taking CHANTIX, as these symptoms may worsen while taking CHANTIX.

Do not take CHANTIX if you have had a serious allergic or skin reaction to CHANTIX. Some people can have serious skin reactions while taking CHANTIX, some of which can become life-threatening. These can include rash, swelling, redness, and peeling of the skin. Some people can have allergic reactions to CHANTIX, some of which can be life-threatening and include: swelling of the face, mouth, and throat that can cause trouble breathing. If you have these symptoms or have a rash with peeling skin or blisters in your mouth, stop taking CHANTIX and get medical attention right away.

Before starting CHANTIX, tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems. If you have new or worse heart or blood vessel symptoms during treatment, tell your doctor. Get emergency medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.

The most common side effects of CHANTIX include nausea (30%), sleep problems, constipation, gas and or vomiting. If you have side effects that bother you or don't go away, tell your doctor. You may have trouble sleeping, vivid unusual or strange dreams while taking CHANTIX. Use caution driving or operating machinery until you know how CHANTIX may affect you.

CHANTIX should not be taken with other quit-smoking products. You may need a lower dose of CHANTIX if you have kidney problems or get dialysis.

Before starting CHANTIX, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or if you take insulin, asthma medicines, or blood thinners. Medicines like these may work differently when you quit smoking.

I wonder what the not yet known side effects are.
Are they permanent? Heres hoping you recognize any of these symptoms before its too late - like suicidal thoughts or actions while driving down the highway with your family in the car. You also might want to be sure you have quick access to your doctor or a hospital before you kill someone or commit suicide.

Can we thank our bought and paid for FDA? Personally, Id force myself to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day before putting this stuff in my mouth.

Recently there appears to be a number of reports of suicides attributed to the use of Chantix, but it's still being advertised on television last time I checked.
Have people completely lost their minds?

$ But it makes billions $
Probably a couple of stupid questions  - But I've got to ask anyway.
1 - Hasn't anyone noticed that practically know one is smoking today and most that did have long since quit?
2 - Hasn't anyone noticed how many cancer,  heart & numerous other medical problems needing drugs and other medcial attention we have today? Where are all the smokers?
 
None smoking like anti-saturated fat / cholesterol is a multi billion dollar industry today in more ways than one could imagine. We are the sickest major developed country in the world and we smoke the least and eat the most low fat garbage.
 
But stop smoking asap. The medical and pharmaceutical industry and governments from state to federal needs your help.$$   Big Pharma can help you stop with a nice little drug designed just for you. Chantix$$
