ANTI-SMOKING VACCINE

We know that quitting smoking is tough. even toughter:quitting for good. A new vaccine holds promise for the 90% of quitters who relapse. after 6 monthly injections, users of NicVAX build up antibodies to nicotine, just as they would to a disease.if you smoke when u r on it, ur bloodstream is flooded with nicotine. the antibodies  attach to the nicotine's molecules, making them too big to cross into brain's pleasure centre,


RESULT: smoking buzz officially killed.the vaccine cud b available in the US next year,& then released world wide
