Has anyone heard of a med called Zyban or used it. My brother is talking about starting the medication in order to stop smoking. I havent heard anything about it, just wondering if anyone had personal experience with the med. I will do some research also and post a story! Sissy

Sissy, I've heard that Zyban can be really helpful for some people to help them quit smoking. One of my friends swears that Zyban was what really worked for her. Until then, she had only tried Nicorette and other nicotine-replacement products. But she just couldn't do it until the doctor added Zyban to her stop-smoking plan. Let us know what you find out!

I just saw a medication advertised on TV that is supposed to help with smoking cessation. It's called Chantrix. I've seen some people come here to United Project to see if the discount card will cover it (I'm sure it does, btw). Have you heard anything about Chantrix??

Today there are 16 million smokers,but until a few years ago there were 8 million more. Leaving aside all the crusading, there is a great desire in the air to throw away the cigarette once and for all.Even there is no gain of smoking so it's a better to quiet it. dorkey Addiction Recovery Washington

I was not aware of the high risk, but I think every medicaiton has good and bad. Seems like you just never know anymore. Like I have said a dozen times before, what they give us to take today - damages us tomorrow! thanks for sharing Sissy
