Chantix: What Are You Waiting For?

There is no question that smoking will kill you, eventually.

There's a reason that cigarettes are called "cancer sticks" and "coffin nails", and have been called those things for roughly forever.

But there's a new, interesting and far more scientific way to go: a smoking cessation drug called Chantix".

And when I read about the life-threatening side-effects of Chantix, I have to wonder what the FDA is thinking when it limits access to life-saving alternative medicines, and approves expensive and dangerous medications like Chantix.

Putting it a different way, when a medication makes you so nutty that truck drivers and air-traffic controllers are forbidden to take it, why should soccer moms be taking it when it's their turn to car-pool all the kids to the game?

And putting it another way, not everything built in a laboratory is good for you!
