The tremendous number of nicotine related illnesses and deaths in our society have burdened our healthcare system and driven up healthcare and insurance costs.

Some of these campaigns are sponsored by giant pharmaceutical companies. This sponsorship is not just for the public welfare but to promote new class of products that are designed to reduce or prevent the desire to smoke. One such product is Chantix. Pfizer, the producer and distributor of Chantix, promotes the product as having high initial indications for helping individuals to stop smoking. Chantix is designed to be utilized in conjunction formal smoking cessation programs that employ behavior modification techniques or other techniques intended to alter habits.

The earliest indications of problems with Chantix were in users who experienced dizziness or nausea. As the use of Chantix became more widespread as a treatment tool and the user population grew, more alarming side effects were reported. These symptoms affect emotional stability and include depression, anxiety and contemplation of suicide. These clinical, chronic psychological conditions in Chantix users may have also induced abhorrent, dangerous physical behavior.
