Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes sir, chantix (with the active ingredient varenicline) is one of the techniques that are employed with an array of other techniques to help individuals quit smoking.

In my opinion and from my experience, just the use of varenicline is not enough to help a person from quitting smoking, but you need many other approaches altogether to help you.

But if at all you are looking for a prescription, I am sorry we are not allowed to hand out prescriptions on our site ma'am. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
