Māori already use kowhai in traditional rongoā medicine to treat colds and sore throats, cuts, bruises, swellings, and skin diseases.
Dr Walker s research found 12 percent of people who took cytisine pills weren t smoking six months later. This is compared to the 8 percent who took the Government-funded medicine Varenicline, branded as Champix.
