As a trader I am used to weighing risk and reward.. To me the risks involved in taking Chantix far outweigh the rewards.. Just saying..
Have you ever noticed that the "War on Drugs" seems to apply only to those drugs that are not controlled by the large pharmaceutical companies? We are not allowed to have drugs we KNOW we need such as antibiotics, pain medication and many others unless we first run through the gauntlet of passing around money to doctors and pharmaceutical companies. If those companies get their way they will have every American on a at least a dozen drugs each..
In my opinion drugs in and of themselves are yet one more bubble in our economy.. If you must take drugs please try to make sure the rewards outweigh the risks?
