Smoking Cessation
Tobacco smoke contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. One expert on addiction has estimated that nicotine is as addictive as cocaine.
As well as nicotine, each cigarette contains more than 4,000 different chemicals, many of which are toxic (harmful to the body). More than 60 of them cause cancer (are carcinogenic).

About the condition
Smoking Cessation
If you smoke, giving up is probably the greatest single step you can take to improve your health.
Smoking in England
The rates of smoking have fallen sharply in England. In 1980, approximately one in three adults smoked, but by 2007 this figure had fallen to one in five adults.
Levels of smoking are highest in younger adults aged 20-34 and lowest in adults aged over 60. Slightly more men (22%) smoke than women (19%).
Smoking in children
Despite it being against the law, levels of smoking are unacceptably high in children.
It is estimated that 6% of children aged 11 to 15 are regular smokers. This is particularly worrying as the longer a person smokes, the more likely it is that they will die from a smoking-related disease.
Impact on health
Smoking’s impact on public health is huge.
In the years from 2007 to 2008 there were 1.4 million NHS hospital admissions for diseases caused by smoking.
Smoking is responsible for one in every five deaths in adults aged over 35 in England, and half of all long-term smokers will die prematurely due to a smoking-related disease. In 2008, smoking caused 83,900 deaths in England.
Smoking is a leading risk factor for many debilitating and, in many cases, potentially fatal health conditions such as:
* lung cancer
* heart disease
* stroke
* chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
The Harmful Substances
Below are some of the toxins found in tobacco smoke, and the way they harm the body.
Nicotine
When you smoke a cigarette, nicotine affects your brain within seconds of inhaling. It increases your heart rate and causes a surge in the hormones noradrenaline and dopamine in your brain. This has a positive effect on your mood and your ability to concentrate. In between cigarettes, the levels of these hormones drop, leaving you feeling irritable, anxious and in need of another cigarette.
Within 24 hours, withdrawal from nicotine can cause the following side effects:
* depressed mood
* difficulty sleeping
* irritability
* frustration or anger
* anxiety
* difficulty concentrating
* restlessness
* decreased heart rate
* dizziness
* increased appetite
As well as being addictive, nicotine can be dangerous if you have high blood pressure (hypertension). It increases the risk of accelerated hypertension, which is a sudden rise in already-high blood pressure that can cause headaches, blurred vision and vomiting.
Nicotine also slows down your body's ability to heal itself by making your skin dehydrated (lacking in water).
That said, nicotine is arguably the least dangerous substance in cigarettes. Other substances found in cigarettes are far more dangerous. These are listed below.
Tar
Every breath of tobacco smoke deposits tar in your lungs. The tar in cigarette smoke contains chemicals called carcinogens, which encourages the development of cancer cells in your body.
Carbon monoxide
When it is inhaled, the poisonous gas carbon monoxide binds itself to the haemoglobin in your bloodstream and prevents it from carrying enough oxygen around your body.
This is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, because it causes a severe lack of oxygen in an unborn baby (known as foetal hypoxia). Foetal hypoxia is thought to be the main cause of the harmful effects that smoking can have on unborn babies.
Oxidant gases
Oxidant gases are gases that react with oxygen. They make your blood more likely to clot, which increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Benzene
Benzene is a chemical that used to be added to petrol. This practice has now been stopped due to health concerns.
Exposure to benzene can cause cell damage at the genetic level, and has been linked to a range of different cancers, such as leukaemia and kidney cancer.
Polonium
Polonium is one of the most highly radioactive substances in the known universe. Even a millionth of a gram of polonium can cause extensive damage to human tissue.#
Treatments Available
Varenicline
Varenicline is currently the only medication that has been specifically designed to help people quit smoking.
It works by preventing nicotine from binding to receptors (parts of your brain that respond to nicotine), which eases cravings and reduces the rewarding and reinforcing effects of smoking.
If you have not stopped smoking completely before starting varenicline, aim to do so within 7-14 days of starting treatment. The recommended duration of varenicline is 12 weeks. If you successfully stop smoking in this time, you may be prescribed another 12 weeks of treatment to ensure that you do not start smoking again.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
Nicotine is highly addictive, and it is the nicotine in cigarettes that causes people to become addicted to smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) works by releasing nicotine steadily into your bloodstream at much lower levels than in a cigarette, without the tar, carbon monoxide and other poisonous chemicals present in tobacco smoke.
This helps to control the cravings for a cigarette that occur when your body starts to miss the nicotine from smoking.
Advice
When you have decided to stop, make a plan that may include:
* a specific date to give up, and cutting down on the number of cigarettes that you smoke before that date
* the support of your family and friends to help you give up
* a reward for the end of your first day, first week, first month
* getting rid of everything smoking-related on the day before you give up, such as cigarettes, ashtrays and lighters
About the Medicine
About Champix (Varenicline)
Champix tablets contain the active ingredient varenicline, which is a medicine used to help people who are addicted to nicotine to give up smoking. It acts in the brain, but is not the same as nicotine replacement therapy.
Varenicline is a type of medicine called a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist. This means that it acts on the same receptors in the brain as nicotine.
Varenicline works by stimulating the nicotinic receptors in the brain. This produces an effect that relieves the craving and withdrawal symptoms you can get when you stop smoking.
At the same time, varenicline blocks nicotine from acting on the nicotinic receptors. This prevents any nicotine inhaled in tobacco smoke from having a rewarding and enjoyable effect.
Varenicline is currently the only medication that has been specifically designed to help people quit smoking.
It works by preventing nicotine from binding to receptors (parts of your brain that respond to nicotine), which eases cravings and reduces the rewarding and reinforcing effects of smoking.
If you have not stopped smoking completely before starting varenicline, aim to do so within 7-14 days of starting treatment. The recommended duration of varenicline is 12 weeks. If you successfully stop smoking in this time, you may be prescribed another 12 weeks of treatment to ensure that you do not start smoking again.
You should set a date on which you will stop smoking and start taking this medicine one to two weeks beforehand. This is because the medicine needs time to start working.
The dose is increased gradually in the first week of treatment (follow the instructions given by your doctor or pharmacist) and the medicine should then be taken twice a day for 12 weeks. If you have successfully managed to stop smoking at the end of 12 weeks, your doctor may offer you a further 12 week course of treatment.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with a drink of water. They can be taken with or without food.
You should seek help and support as much as possible while giving up smoking, even while taking this medicine, as this will increase your chance of success. Your doctor, practice nurse or local pharmacist can all provide this support.
Champix Summary:
* before you start taking Champix you must choose a date on which you will stop smoking. The date should be 8-14 days after the date you start taking Champix
* treatment with Champix is usually continued for 12 weeks
