A recent study has shown that using pills that reduce nicotine cravings can play a key role in quitting smoking, while many smokers are now turning to products that claim to provide nicotine more safely than tobacco, such as e-cigarettes, patches, and gum. Doctors have examined the evidence regarding a drug called cytisine, which is a natural component from the seeds of the laburnum tree, helping smokers to break this habit.
Doctors pointed out that "smokers wishing to quit are more likely to succeed if they take pills that reduce nicotine cravings," stating that the drug can play a major role in helping people rid themselves of this habit. The drug recently received regulatory approval in the United Kingdom and is set to be available for public sale later this month.
