Common Questions

What is SmokeLESS?
SmokeLESS is a prescription medicine to help adults stop smoking.
It is used together with behavior modification and counseling support to help you stop smoking cigarettes.
SmokeLESS works in the brain to block the pleasurable effects of smoking.
This helps to decrease your desire to keep smoking.
SmokeLESS comes with "KICK THE HABIT" support plan which is created just for SmokeLESS users to help them quit successfully.

 


 

How is SmokeLESS different from other smoking cessation products?
There are several medications available in the market used for the treatment of nicotine addiction known as nicotine replacement therapy.
Under this treatment Nicotine gums, Nicotine patches, Nicotine inhaler, Nicotine nasal spray, Nicotine lozenges etc are given to the patient. When these medications are applied they work as a replacement for Nicotine.
However, the success rate for this kind of treatment is not so high, as a person is back to smoking within a few months after completing the treatment mostly because of the cravings which are not cured by these therapies.
Therefore, smokers need to have a strong will power in order to completely quit smoking if they are opting for this kind of treatment.

 

* SmokeLESS works differently from these replacement therapies.
SmokeLESS does not contain nicotine. It works in two ways:
It targets nicotine receptors in the brain, attaches to them, and blocks nicotine from reaching them. It is believed that SmokeLESS alsoactivates these receptors, causing a reduced release of dopamine (which controls our emotions) compared to nicotine.
