When does smoking become a different type of health risk?
by Dr. Elizabeth WhiteSmoking Cessation Specialist
The harmful effects of smoking have been proven by both scientists and doctors alike. It is one of the major causes of cancer. But who would have thought that a drug that is championed for relieving the symptoms of withdrawal and cravings could prove to be responsible for people committing suicide. Recently here in Lancashire in the UK, a 39 year old man stabbed himself to death only two months after giving up smoking using Champix (also known as Chantix).
“A smoker stabbed himself to death only weeks after beginning a course of drugs to help him quit his 20-a-day habit. Omer Jama, 39, a television editor, had no history of mental illness. Omer was found dead at his home two months after he was prescribed Champix. The drug he had been taking for two months Champix has been linked to depression and reports of suicide.
The European Medicines Agency, the drug's licensers, issued guidance on Champix's active ingredient Varenicline to Doctors two months after Mr Jama's death. It said "updated warnings" were needed to increase awareness of cases of suicidal thoughts.”
So that begs the question wouldn’t you be much safer and healthier to find a natural method that is known and proven not to have side effects, while also having extremely high success rates?
