SMOKERS SHOULD BE SHOT: EXPERTS

October 23, 2008 --
ATLANTA - For the first time, an influential government panel is recommending a vaccination specifically for smokers.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices decided yesterday that adult smokers under 65 should get pneumococcal vaccine. It protects against bacteria that cause bacterial pneumonia.
Smokers are about four times more likely than nonsmokers to suffer pneumococcal disease.

Chantix can be prescribed to adult smokers who are between the ages of 18-65 years. As it is available on prescription only you are required to undertake a consultation with a registered Doctor first. If after the consultation the Doctor decides that chantix is suitable for you then you will be given a prescription that will help you collect chantix from any registered pharmacy. http://www.chantixhome.com/
