Drugs seemingly reduce cigarette and alcohol use at the same time? Sounds like they address an addictive behavior of some sort, but it’s a good thing.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

Intuitively, smoking dries out your throat, so you drink something. Since alcohol has tended to be that something, when you quit smoking, you’d think alcohol intake would follow suit.

Replace one drug with another. Only difference is who gets the commission.

But better watch out for that “off label” use. We can’t have that.

“Unexpectedly, nicotine replacement therapy performed as well as the prescription drugs varenicline and cytisine.”

~~~~~~~

Once again, the cheap, well understood, in this case natural substance (Nicotine) works as well as the new, less studied expensive prescription drugs.

I’m reminded of early HCQ and Ivermectin, versus MRNA Gene therapies and Remdesiver. (Except that those two therapies have turned out pretty bad.)

“Unexpectedly, nicotine replacement therapy performed as well as the prescription drugs varenicline and cytisine.”

Reminds me of a couple of decades-proven and very safe drugs used during COVID that were off-label and repurposed to fight COVID.

It’s amazing that researchers can investigate existing drugs for new, unexpected uses today, but couldn’t just two years ago.

It shows how thoroughly crooked the medical establishment and government are.

Get Biden out of office, that will reduce my alcohol intake immediately.

Not that I have any experience...

Tobacco use might offset alcohol consumption

Alcohol consumption might increase tobacco use
