NHS will offer pills to help you stop smoking

"The NHS will start offering an "improved" stop smoking pill to tens of thousands of people in England who want to quit cigarettes.

Varenicline, a daily tablet given over a few months, is as effective as vapes and more effective than nicotine replacement gum or patches, NHS England says.

The drug, which fights cravings, was available a few years ago on the NHS under the brand name Champix but was withdrawn due to some impurities. The new version has been approved as safe. "
