CHantix is a pill that has very slight nicotine effects and very very little effect on the lungs. IT stops nicotine from cigarettes from having effects. It puts people into nicotine withdrawal and interrupts the pattern of cigarette smoking to overcome the nicotine withdrawal.. allowing people to stop smoking. (public health dept often have these resources).
