NHS to Launch Revolutionary Stop-Smoking Pill Varenicline
NHS England is launching varenicline, a once-daily stop-smoking pill that promises to significantly aid smokers in quitting by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Expected to support over 85,000 smokers annually, the new pill is a replacement for Champix and has been deemed safe by UK health authorities. With estimated potential to prevent 9,500 smoking-related deaths over the next five years, varenicline could reshape public health efforts against smoking.
