Isn't tripling California's tobacco tax a bit too much?
Nobody thinks that smoking is good for anyone but nobody really wants to help smokers quit. Instead society has been brainwashed into thinking that smoking "is just a bad habit". If smokers REALLY wanted to quit, they would, after all smoking is their CHOICE.

Quit smoking with Champix
Smoking is one of the unhealthiest habits which is now considered to be a major medical threat and has been acquired by a most our population. Smoking can cause severe health complications such as coronary heart disease, lung or throat cancers, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, decreased fertility and impotence or erectile dysfunction. One cigarette consists of large amounts of nicotine, one of the most harmful chemicals, which is very addictive.
People who wish to quit smoking find it difficult because of the addiction they have for this chemical. You can use Champix, which is an effective prescription medication for helping smokers quit their cigarette smoking habit.
How does Champix work?
Champix, with the help of its active ingredient varenicline, works in an unique way. It works in two different ways, which help you quit smoking on a long term basis. Firstly, Champix binds itself to thé nicotine receptors present in your brain and stimulates them plenty of so as to encourage the manufacturing of dopamine.
The release of dopamine heIps in giving you similar pleasurable feelings you have while smoking. It also helps you in dealing with the withdrawal symptoms that can occur due to quitting smoking. Eventually, this varenicline tablet blocks these nicotine receptors, so that even if you smoke, you are unable to experience any enjoyment from doing so.
Champix dosage
You are required to take Champix for a period of 12 weeks, by the end of which you will be able to quit your smoking habit on a permanent basis. You are required to take one white 0. 5 mg dosage for the first three days that is for days 1 to 3. For the days 4 to 7, you are required to take two 0. 5 mg pills on a daily basis.
For the next slot of days 8 to 14, you are required to take one light blue 1 mg dosage tablet on a daily basis. And for the rest of the days, you are required to take two gentle blue 1 mg tablet on a daily basis.
Champix side effects
Champix, like other medications, can also cause some side effects. Some of the common side effects that you can experience include nausea, insomnia, lethargy, dry móuth, headaches, nightmares, changes in taste, runny nose, constipation, abdominal pain, drowsiness, indigestion, gastro esophageal reflux disease and increased or decreased appetite.
Some of the severe and rarer varenicline side effects include suicidal behavior, nausea, vomiting, stomach ulcers, sexual problems, difficulty in breathing, diarrhea, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, dry skin, increased sweating, thyroid issues, ringing in your ears, migraines, arthritis and anemia.
Precautions to be taken for Champix
Before using Champix, it is important that you know important information about the medication. Those who are suffering from severe health conditions such as kidney disease or kidney failure, some type of mental illness, have a history of suicidal conduct or any allergies, should avoid using this pill.

Should you be concerned about the flavorings in e-juice?
I am not a chemist but my concern is not the nicotine in e-juice but the flavorings. Currently there are about 7,000 different flavors with a couple hundred being added each month. Many of the flavorings used are GRAS (generally recognized as safe). But this designation is used for chemicals that are ingested, not inhaled.
