New studies report that two drugs that help people stop smoking (bupropion and varenicline) may change the way the brain reacts to seeing someone else smoke. Using brain scans, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles examined what happened in the brains of 30 smokers who took the drug or a placebo for eight weeks. Those who took the drug instead of the placebo reported less craving. They also showed less activity in areas of the brain linked to craving.
