Fake smoking with fake ... cigarettes
A fake cigarette called " Varenicline " (or champix) has just been tested successfully in the UK. About 44% of the smokers who participated in the trial were able to quit within 12 weeks.
Varenicline is manufactured by Pfizer. It does not contain nicotine but contains substances that prevent the effects of nicotine in true cigarettes on the brain and reduce the craving for smoking. Testing for 3 months showed that the major side effect of Varenicline was nausea.
This fake cigarette was recommended by British health authorities to allow it to be used as a new smoking cessation method, in which health professionals will prescribe so that fake smokers spend less than $ 4. /day.(Kazinform)
