I have looked into Zyban myself, and had considered taking it in order
to quite smoking, but did not for exactly the reason you mentioned. It
has horrible side effects in some people. While it works for most
people, if you are one of the unlucky ones then you are in trouble.

The company I used to work for made medical devices. It had as a consultant a physician from Britain who had a world-wide
reputation in his field. He was a heavy smoker. When I got to know him well enough, I asked him why he smoked, when he
certainly knew the risk. His answer was that he would run blood tests to know when he was about to get cancer, and then
quit. I was certain he knew that there is no such test, and I didn't pursue the matter. Addicts rationalize.
Some time before that, I attended a meeting on surgical oncology - the treatment of cancers by surgery. In a session on lung
cancer, with many slides showing cancerous tissue removed from lungs - some postmortem - several people were smoking!
Ask a smoker if he is addicted. Most will deny it.

If the world renown "Body Worlds" exhibit comes to your city, go see it. I
visited the exhibit in Los Angles about 2 months ago. There is on display
some preserved human lungs from healthy and from diseased persons. If that
doesn't get to the smoker .... then he/she must face the fact that they are
a full blown addict to nicotine.

Keep in mind that in Italy as in the rest of civilized Europe, diesel fuel
is nearly sulfur free (15 parts per billion) compared to America and
especially Canada. Also, diesel cars "over there" have much cleaner
pollution control that light duty pickup trucks here. Context.

Just remember, if I person NEEDS a drug to quit smoking, it's usually
because they don't want to stop. Something, family pressure, health,
has made them want to get the drug to stop, so when they get off the
drug, they will go back to smoking.
I've learned this from lossing weight and stopping smoking, it's a
life style change, you want to do it, and want to keep doing it. If
you use a gimic, as soon as that gimic is gone you will reverse right
back to prior to the gimic.
Now all this is in my own observations, but being a good American,
cold-turkey hurts our economy, if you don't want to support the tax
system via smoking(or over eating), then you need to buy highpriced
gimics to keep the money moving.
So, being a victim, makes for a better Americia. :-P
