For many smokers looking to quit, the risks of a stop smoking shot, along with its highly questionable effectiveness, make this option a last resort. Is there real science behind these injections, or is the whole deal a scam? I’m here to give some explanations.

The most common shots given are Welpex, Smart Shot, and Quit 1-2-3. Smart Shot is simply a more advance version of Welpex, using one shot instead of the three used for Welpex. The Quit 1-2-3 treatment offers one injection and a month of anti-tension pills.

Here’s the science. The stop smoking shot will block the nicotine receptors of your brain and immunize you from being addicted to nicotine, or at least this is the common claim of all providers of the stop smoking shot. Different surveys have been made to reveal the true effectiveness of the stop smoking shots, but results vary. However, it can be said that the stop smoking shot has been proven to be successful for many, though this result could be part psychological. If you’d like to get even more technical, then Scopolamine, Atropine and Atarax are the main substances for most stop smoking shots.

So what are the risks? Well, aside from the fact that many people are extremely scared of needles, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, agitation, confusion, rambling speech, hallucinations, paranoid behaviors, delusions, dilated pupils with pain and redness of the eyes, and difficulty urinating are all side-effects listed by Drugs.com, regarding the main substances of these shots, Scopolamine and Atropine. A stop smoking shot can be very expensive, between 300 and 500 dollars, and as mention previously, there has yet to be confirmation regarding the shot’s success rate.

The Welpex site has an article which supports the science behind their stop smoking shot, written by Nicholas Bachynsky, a doctor twice revoked of his license and who is reported to be involved in numerous scams. This is not to say that the shot doesn’t work, but it does raise some very worrying questions about the legitimacy of the whole stop smoking shot business.

Whether you end up going with the stop smoking shot or not, it’s always best to consult your doctor. He might be able to save you from potential scams, harmful financially or medically. An experienced doctor may also have had other smoking patients looking to quit, and could be able to refer you to a treatment with proven success.

With or without the stop smoking shot, I wish you luck on your path towards a smoke free life!
