Champix tablets can help reduce or control your nicotine cravings. Champix attaches to the brain's nicotine receptors, hence reducing cravings. Smoking, therefore, becomes less pleasurable because of the reward system that's blocked. Champix has so far proven to double the chances of one permanently stopping smoking.

Description

What is Champix

Champix is a nicotine-free medication that has been proven to be an effective treatment for helping people to quit smoking. Champix reduces the craving and withdrawal symptoms an addict may experience when they stop smoking.

How Does Champix Work?

People smoke for a variety of reasons. These include gaining pleasure, boosting their mood, producing a sense of wellbeing, improving memory and concentration, to pass time among others. However, excessive smoking can be detrimental to a person's physical, social, psychological and financial health. Nicotine is the primary addictive component in tobacco that when used excessively can reduce the level of monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme in the body and brain. Low levels of MAO lead to an increase in dopamine that influences a person to continue smoking because the brain assumes that smoking generates pleasure. Eventually, on becomes an addict and is at risk of developing lung cancer. Champix works by imitating the effects of nicotine in the body and brain. It stops the receptors in the brain from getting attached to nicotine, thus relieving the symptoms experienced during nicotine withdrawal.

Champix reduces craving for nicotine, stops cigarette addiction, relieves withdrawal symptoms, and reduces irritability, anxiety, and depression caused by the urge to smoke.
