The Electronic Cigarette vs. Chantix
Chantix and the E-Cigarette – one of these is causing suicide, aggressive behavious and drowsiness. The other has caused no serious problems. So which are senators and public health campaigners calling to be banned?
The answer is the electronic cigarette, which in several years of use has yet to see any serious problems reported. The electronic cigarette, however, does not have established interests behind it. It may help save the lives of millions of smokers by providing a safer alternative to smoking with all the carcinogens removed, but it is not spinning the kind of money which suppliers can use to protect their interests, sponsor health groups, finance the FDA and bank roll senators.
Champix, on the other hand, has caused several suicides in the UK, yet manufacturer Pfizer is standing firmly behind the drug. While some drug sponsored researchers state their are few problems with Chantix, users on health forums have a different story – with one reporting the following symptons:
- headache
- sleep problems and insomnia
- unusual dreams
- nausea
- stomach pain
- indigestion
- vomiting,
- constipation
- gas
- weakness
- tired feeling
- unpleasant taste in your mouth.
Public Health Campaigners are focussing their efforts on banning a safe and satisfying alternative to smoking – after all, why give a rubber knife to a mass murderer? (Maybe because a rubber knife doesn’t do any harm?) Of course, these efforts have nothing to do with the funding that comes to them from big pharmacy companies…
Nor, of course, does the recent letter written by an American senator to the FDA have anything to do with the $120,000 he received from pharmaceutical companies during his campaign, and for that matter I am sure the FDA will not let the fact that it is funded by the drug companies affect its decision…

This is just as I had long thought. The conspiracy theory appears justified yet again.
The loss of revenue to governments from smokers’ taxes would be enormous, the loss to the pharmacy companies profits perhaps as great. They do not care about health, just money.
