Brief Answer:
TBX AID cytisine

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

The active ingredients in TBX product contain cytisine, a partial agonist for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor which according to new england journal of medicine has higher smoking cessation rates compared to nicotine replacement therapy. However it was also noted that greater number of adverse effects were reported for cytisine than NRT. Onew can give it a try if other options have failed. Ideally consult and inform your treating physician before starting it Immediately report any major side effects if you experience them.
