The more methods available to help smokers to freedom \u2013 the better.<\/p>\n<p>I mention \u201ctreatment\u201d but of course it would be more accurate to have said \u201cdrug\u201d. Because, with the exception of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Live Group Seminars<\/a> which received NICE approval in 2022, all additions to the list of approved treatments for smoking cessation are provided by the pharmaceutical industry. All of them!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A strong bias toward pharmacology<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it extraordinary that those working in public health seem so wedded to pharmacological solutions at the expense of virtually all others? The media and public health sector fanfare that has welcomed the latest \u2018magic pill\u2019 contrasts sharply with the silence which greeted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/nice-approves-allen-carrs-easyway\/\">NICE\u2019s approval of Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking Live Group Seminars<\/a> two years ago. Why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway is an effective, entirely drug-free, accessible, cost-effective, Great British treatment for smoking cessation. What\u2019s not to like? The extent to which only pharmacological treatments are celebrated and promoted by our public health services is not only unscientific, unfair, and disturbing but does a significant disservice to the great British public \u2013 who deserve a choice \u2013 especially a drug-free choice. After all \u2013 we\u2019re all paying for this.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pills, patches, and potions only tackle 1% of the problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The fact is that Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway makes it easy for smokers to quit without requiring any of the drugs designed to combat the discomfort caused by nicotine withdrawal (which is actually extremely mild). No wonder Big Pharma don\u2019t care for us!<\/p>\n<p>As long a smoker understands the process by which they became addicted and how that created and nurtured a sense of dependence which in turn has made it unpleasant or even impossible for them to quit in the past \u2013 they can quit with ease.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nicotine addiction is 99% mental<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nicotine addiction is 99% mental and 1% physical and it is extraordinary that Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway stands alone treating the 99% &#8211; whilst Big Pharma earns billions addressing the measly 1%.<\/p>\n<p>After our live seminars received NICE approval I expected to be fighting off research bodies, public health champions, Cancer Research UK and the like \u2013 assuming that they all might want to examine the effectiveness of our online video programs and books (which cost less than a pack of cigarettes). Yet, they couldn\u2019t have been less interested in the method. Actually Cancer Research UK managed even that \u2013 spending who knows how many thousands of pounds donated by the public in an attempt to prevent Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway method receiving NICE approval!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local authority smoking cessation services are achieving great results with our drug-free method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As more and more local authority smoking cessation services follow NICE guidelines and make Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway available to the smokers who seek their help to quit \u2013 it\u2019s essential that this brilliant drug free method isn\u2019t overlooked in favour of something that only deals with 1% of the quit smoking problem.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll finish where I started, the more clinically proven ways of quitting smoking someone is offered \u2013 the better. As such, Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway (as decreed by NICE) should always be offered to smokers as an option alongside cytisine, e-cigarettes, varenicline, NRT, and whatever the next \u2018wonder drug\u2019 is.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is cytisine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cytisine is considered a safe and effective treatment which works similarly to varenicline (Champix\/Chantix), in that it apparently reduces urges to smoke by attaching to some of the same neuronal receptors in the brain that nicotine does.<\/p>\n<p>It was developed by two Bulgarian pharmacologists, Professor Dymitar Paskov and Dr Hristo Dobrev in the early 1950s. Widespread use of cytisine only began during the 1990s in Poland.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are there any side effects?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Its side effects (gastric symptoms and sleep disturbance) are similar to those experienced with varenicline.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How is cytisine taken?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is swallowed as a tablet or capsule. The standard course of treatment is currently 25 days but it is considered that using it for up to 12 weeks improves its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Cytisine is now available in the UK as a prescription-only medication.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/\/stop-smoking-treatments\/\">quit smoking treatments &amp; alternatives \u2013 Pills, gum, devices &amp; more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the latest quit smoking \u2018wonder drug\u2019 and does it work?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":146002,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[645,688,689,690,648,706],"tags":[],"addiction":[28,32],"country":[],"class_list":["post-146544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-smoking","category-smoking-advice","category-smoking-health","category-smoking-in-the-news","category-vaping","category-vaping-in-the-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is cytisine the silver bullet for quitting smoking?
