Truckers Banned Anti-Smoking Drug Chantix As Well
By Anna Boyd
16:22, May 23rd 2008
Following the Federal Aviation Administration's decision to ban use of
anti-smoking drug Chantix by pilots and air controllers on Wednesday, now it
is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's turn to warn against
the medicine.
On Thursday, the agency urged medical examiners "to not qualify anyone
currently using this medication for commercial motor vehicle licenses," the
Wall Street Journal reports.
The dramatic decisions follow a report by the Institute for Safe Medication
Practices, a non-profit watchdog group based in Horsham, Pa., which warns
against "use of Chantix among persons operating aircrafts, trains, buses and
other vehicles, or in other settings where a lapse in alertness or motor
control could lead to massive, serious injury."
The report linked Chantix to 988 serious events in the last quarter of 2007
alone.

This coward should run for public office, He sure is persuasive and
eloquent isn't he. Of course his emotional immaturity, life's
frustrations, and chronic anger might put the damper on his intended
run for dog catcher. LOL!
TBN - lovin' clown alley.

Rule #2 = Aniti-smoking fanatics always whine.
BTW if you are a non-smoker why are you posting in a smoker's forum?
Just to harrass people?

I'm not a big fan of knives but I am a good shot with pistols or long guns.
I know it is wrong to feed the trolls but I have often wondered what the
root of "trolling" is. I cannot understand what would make someone be such
an ass. I understand that tobacco is an easy target but I've seen attacks on
any belief, hobby; it does not seem to matter, there is always someone that
wants to insult others.
It has been speculated that trolls are usually angry, bitter folks. Perhaps
someone that has had bad health or has been in an accident and is now pissed
off at everyone/everything. I think I could understand that; if I were
confined to my home or worse I would probably be unbearable.
BTW, how is it that you think I am white?
AND, a good fist fight has settled many issues that might have escalated to
huge conflicts.
I'd like to fight you with logic rather than fists or weapons but it seems
this might be a lost cause.
Let me know if you'd like to go at it either way.

Is nicotine addiction a "belief" or a "hobby"?
