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.

You definitely miss it but you can’t relapse unless you stop taking pills. You decrease the dose and number of cigs to zero over a period of month and hope that it’s enough to overcome most severe withdrawal symptoms.
Wildly untrue.
I meant that you won’t be getting anything out of that nicotine while taking pills.
Still not true tho…
Receptors aren’t binary, there’s like millions of those fuckers, no one is taking enough of this to keep all their nicotine receptors bound 24/7.
Even if we could do that, it’s a terrible plan for a whole bunch of reasons.
And not everything binds the same way for the same amount of time, and obviously don’t have the same effect. If there’s nicotine and this medication floating around, it’s not an orderly line, it’s random what binds. So smoking can still give an effect.
Like, this reminds of the time someone asked me:
There’s just so much wrong with what you’re saying and it feels like you have no background knowledge about how any of this actually works to build on to explain it.
If you want to understand this, you’d be best off just reading the Wikipedia for this medication, specifically the method of action.
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.
