How do pills help you quit smoking?

Answer 1

Yes, dont know the name but my father used it and it was highly successful. After smoking more than 33 years it helped him to kick the habit. It is by prescription only, at least it was five years ago. Call your doctor or ask a pharmacist.

Answer 2

The exact reply would depend on the pill in question.

Generally, the pills available act by blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain, while also prevent the withdrawal symptoms from not smoking.

Hence, when you do smoke, it has no effect, or even an unpleasant affect, as reported by a friend taking some "stop smoking pills" who said that now she is taking the pills smoking makes her feel sick (this effect is called "aversion therapy", and may be an intended effect of the pills.)

So to start with, while on the pills, smoking makes you feel nothing, or perhaps "is not nice".

Then you stop smoking, and you feel normal.

You are trying to teach you body that smoking is bad, or neutral, and that not smoking is "OK".

Answer 3

If patches are used properly they are very useful in helping a person quit smoking. First they need to want to quit in order to use them. If unsuccessful consulting your doctor will help.
