In the United Kingdom there are roughly 12 million people who smoke and they are going to be very affected by this new smoking ban due to come out in England on the first of July. We hope at Ukmedix News that the smoking ban will have a positive result on their lives as it will encourage them to give up smoking and to realise how harmful and dangerous the smoking habit is for them.

The statistics speak for themselves as smoking is estimated to kill over 120,000 people every year from smoking related illnesses. Smoking also impacts greatly on quality of life as it causes people to be unfit, unhealthy and to generally suffer from far more illness then people who do not smoke.
Research has noted that the people who suffer the most from continuing to smoke are those over the age of thirty. This does not mean that people under the age of 30 have a license to smoke freely without getting sick because this is not the case, but it is just that individuals who quit in their early thirties and who do not pick up the habit again are likely not to suffer health complications in old age. If you are over 30 am still smoking you are heading for trouble.
At Ukmedix News we are hearing very good things about the smoking cessation drug Champix. At Ukmedix News we keep an objective outlook on all new drug treatments and we judge them on their merits and quite simply Champix in clinical trials has proven to be the most effective smoking cessation product on the market today. The trials saw that quite simply you are more likely to succeed in giving up smoking by using Champix than you are by using nicotine replacement treatments. The active ingredient of the Champix smoking drug is called varenicline.
