The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) is rolling out a free antismoking pill called varenicline for British smokers. Research has shown that varenicline is more effective than traditional nicotine-replacement therapies such as gum or patches.

Obviously it’s not possible to block everything but subjectively speaking it blocked quite a good deal. While taking cytisine tablets all that nicotine does is make you nauseous and even if it does anything it’s not enough to offset massive adverse effects of smoking that you’re suddenly feeling. This effectively stops you from being able to enjoy nicotine at all.
