Pfizer recalls all lots of anti-smoking drug over carcinogen presence

Pfizer said on Thursday it was recalling all lots of its anti-smoking treatment, Chantix, due to high levels of cancer-causing agents called nitrosamines in the pills.

The drugmaker paused distribution of the drug in June, and has already recalled a number of lots of the medicine so far.

Pfizer asked wholesalers and distributors on Thursday to stop the use and distribution of the tablets immediately.

The company said there was no immediate risk to patients

taking Chantix, but advised them to consult with their health care provider to check the availability of alternative treatments.

Chantix was approved by the FDA in May 2006 as a prescription medication to help adults aged 18 and over quit smoking and is typically used for 12 to 24 weeks.

How surprised will people be when years later they discover horrific long term effects from the Vax?

What does the science say about the long term side effects? Nothing, because there isn't any long term testing. We are the long term test.

Well, thank goodness there are no nitrosamines in Comirnaty.

Seems that we’ve heard Pfizer say that about several other products they market. If only I could recall.....

Anti-smoking treatment that cause cancer. Nothing ironic about that at all.

Why was it approved by the FDA?

Unintended consequences are normal in medical science.

Many, many FDA approved treatments have been pulled in history.

There might be a much higher chance for them to discover problems in a treatment that uses technology that has never been tried on a massive scale, that doesn’t have any long term testing, that has scientists trembling in fear to point out problems because they might get cancelled by major medical organizations

For all we know Chantix was the cure for covid.

The world has gotten that crazy.

I had a doctor who tried pushing that Chantix garbage on me years ago...wanted me to stop smoking cigars....sent me a free sample.

I threw the Chantix in the trash, never went to that doctor again, kept smoking cigars...and the best part....

I outlived them!

FDA approved, and it contains a cancer causing substance. That’s just perfect. Probably cigarettes have fewer side effects.

They want to get people back on the cigs so that the Covid mortality numbers go up. Keep the fear going, keep the jab flowing.

Ironic that the Federal Government has not banned the manufacture and sale of tobacco products as a health hazard.

Oh wait a minute.... that would cause a loss of thousands of jobs......and $billions in taxes.

Now I understand.

Two questions: Are the nitrosamines a contaminant or an integral part of the product? Second, was any part of the product shipped in from China? It's becoming increasingly clear that products from China often contain dangerous contaminants, aand it cannot possibly be accidental. Highly toxic graphene has been found in some samples of the “jab” all around the world, as well as in masks made in China. Not an accident.

Did Pfizer hire a Chicom company to make this? Chicoms-made Prilosec had the same problem.

“Duh Vaxx” is definitely killing and maiming people.

Some will die much sooner than others, and it’s horrible to see this stuff.

Many are suffering as I write this, and there is NOTHING anyone can do about it. Innocent people are literally poisoned, and they are now helpless.

I took Chantix years ago. It made me sleep a lot more than normal during which time I didn’t smoke. I knew several people who tried quitting using it, and none were successful.
