How Our Stop Smoking Tablets Can Help Stop Your Addiction

Around 40% of smokers will die from a smoking related illness, so if you really want to quit smoking then our online pharmacy can help. We provide a free online consultation with a GMC registered doctor, and if you are approved the doctor will provide you with a private prescription and dispense either our doctors first choice stop smoking medication Champix, or the treatment Zyban which are stop smoking tablets.

With these tablets you are four times more likely to quit smoking, as Champix and Zyban block the effects of nicotine on the brain. Nicotine is a drug that stimulates the brain, as a regular smoker you will notice withdrawal symptoms when your blood level of nicotine falls. This may leave you feeling irritable, restless, anxious or hungry. However, these symptoms are relieved with your Champix or Zyban tablets, making stopping smoking manageable.

Why Should You Stop Smoking?

There are endless benefits of quitting smoking with our stop smoking tablets, and you will notice several health benefits within days:

• Improved sense of smell and taste
• Lower your risk of heart attack, stroke and lung cancer
• Improvements to blood pressure, asthma, diabetes and circulation
• Younger looking skin and whiter teeth
• Improved fertility

Some people worry that if they stop smoking they will put on weight. In practice there may be a few added pounds, but the benefits of an improved healthy lifestyle and added fitness can quickly erode this problem. Simply take more exercise, as 2 and a half hours exercise per week is recommended for the average adult.
