Bupropion HCL, also known as Wellbutrin, is prescribed as an anti-depressant medication. Due to the incoherent and irrational statements that…

Though many people have tried to abandon smoking completely, it is disturbing to note that it is only a few who have…

participants receive smoking cessation counseling, and Varenicline, bupropion, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Varenicline is a selective partial agonist of the α4 β 2 acetylcholine receptor. It stimulates dopamine release from the nucleus accumbens, but less than nicotine does (e.g., Cinirpini et al., 2013).
