I don’t smoke pot but my husband of thirty five years does. We are both about to try chantix to quit cigarettes and I am hoping it will also make him have no desire for pot?
CHANTIX may reduce your urge to smoke. It contains no nicotine. You may wonder how a non-nicotine pill may possibly help you quit smoking. Well, first, you have to know how nicotine works.
There are receptors for nicotine in your brain. When you smoke, the nicotine you inhale attaches to these receptors. This sends a message to a different part of your brain to release a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine gives you a feeling of pleasure. But it does not last long. That’s why your body craves more nicotine. This can be converted into a vicious cycle.
Based on research, it is believed that CHANTIX helps keep nicotine from reaching key receptors in the brain. It’s the only prescription treatment of its kind.
Since pot has not anything to do with the craving for nicotine, Chantix will have no effect on the desire for smoking pot to get high.
