There are alternative quit smoking medications and conventional
medications that are got in the market. Let us take a look at the comparative
analysis of both.

There are two types of medicines which can help you bring an end to
smoking. The two kinds of medicines are the conservative and alternative.
Those medicines which are recommended by the doctors are the
conservative medicines. These medicines are prescribed along with the smoking
therapies, indicating that these medicines cannot work alone. In contrast,
the alternative method is making its presence felt in a huge way. The
alternative medicine is developed from traditional herbs and is hundred
percent natural.

Conventional medicines have been in use for a very long time but only
recently have they been really developed. Many famous brands of
medicines like Chantix, Zyban, Wellbutrin and NicVAX are recommended to
smokers. The common factor among these medicines is that they all have
antidepressant properties and the body will slowly become immune to them.
After this happens the effect that remains is not very effective. The urges
are only controlled to a certain extent.

Most doctors would also agree that the medicines they prescribe to
their smokers have little more than a placebo effect. The truth is, though
these medicines are antidepressants, the body may become immune to them
after a certain period of time. After that, only a placebo effect
remains. In addition, such stop smoking medicine can help mild smokers to
give up their habit, but they would prove to be largely ineffective in
hardened smokers.

This is why most doctors prescribe such medicines along with other
therapies like nicotine patches etc. In fact the patch itself is something
that a lot of people are concerned about as it contains real nicotine.
It is a hot debate if nicotine addiction can be overcome with the help
of nicotine itself. Therapies related to behavioral problems are also
given but the results differ on a subjective basis.

Alternative medications that are used are nothing but herbal remedies.
These herbal remedies are more than antidepressants, unlike the
conventional medicines, these herbal medicines act in various ways. They work
in a way that helps the smoker to develop a dislike for the property
nicotine and this in turn helps the person get rid of the nicotine
addiction. They are also considered to be safe antidepressants as they are
entirely natural and are suited for any type of person.

Herbal medicines are designed in such a way that they not only cure the
addiction problem but also ensure that the damage already done to the
body due to smoking is also cured. The process takes time and in fact
for some the healing time might even take several years. The time period
required will obviously depend on the level of the person’s smoking.

Lobelia is an often used herbal medicine that helps stop smoking. It is
like tobacco if tasted but of course does not contain the same
addictive properties. Quit smoking cigarettes are made using this. This is
effective as smoking these cigarettes gives the smoker the same
satisfaction but does not harm the body and mind in a way that nicotine
cigarettes are sure to do. Other such helpful herbs are Saint John’s Wort, Kava
Kava and chamomile.

Alternative stop smoking medicine is showing encouraging results in
tests and in actual use. FDA has still to approve this kind of medicine,
but the general acceptance of the effectiveness of herbal medicine is
its prime USP.
