Varenicline was discovered when some Russian guy found a bunch of it in his spice cabinet and put some of it into his borscht as a substitute for oregano. In addition to losing interest in tobacco products, the man began having uncontrollable seizures which left him permanently comatose. Lionel T. Wimberley, a Pfizer chemist, found that the man had quit smoking after becoming comatose. He decided to bring this information to his superiors who agreed that a profit could be made from this chemical to help people stop smoking.

  • Varenicline was discovered when some Russian guy found a bunch of it in his spice cabinet and put some of it into his borscht as a substitute for oregano. In addition to losing interest in tobacco products, the man began having uncontrollable seizures which left him permanently comatose. Lionel T. Wimberley, a Pfizer chemist, found that the man had quit smoking after becoming comatose. He decided to bring this information to his superiors who agreed that a profit could be made from this chemical to help people stop smoking. Clinical trials on varenicline concluded that it was extremely effective at helping patients both cease smoking and existing. The FDA was so impressed with the results and the potential profit from the patent that a thorough 10-month investigation into it's safety was forgone for a smell and taste test taking exactly 4 minutes. The drug became available to the public the following autumn and became a very popular gift item that holiday season.
