The Smoking Vaccine
Scientists create a
miracle cure – a shot of medicine to take away the kick that keeps people
hooked on nicotine. Two companies are developing a vaccine that will neutralize
nicotine’s hold on the brain by keeping it from getting there first of all. If
either of them has success, millions of smokers could trash their soft packs
for good, reducing their risk of dozens of ailments, including heart stroke,
disease and 10 different types of cancer. Vaccine is designed to stimulate
antibodies in the bloodstream that identify and bond with nicotine and protect
it from entering the brain.
Henrik Rasmussen,
M.D., Ph.D., of Nabi says: “It’s based on the assumption that the main reason
smokers can’t quit is that they miss the rush they get when the nicotine hits
the brain. We are basically attempting to block that, so you lose the feeling
of well-being that cigarettes give you.” The vaccine is going to be a
revolutionary approach to tobacco-addiction treatment.
The NicVax vaccine
offers a lot more protection than other treatment methods. Eight shots over a
12-month period will cover patients for the year. With NicVax, a smoker is
stuck and that is what he needs. Researches have shown that if a smoker makes
it past a year without relapse, his chances of staying smoke-free are very
good.
The government puts
its money on NicVax – the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has given a
healthy dose of funding to carry out clinical trials at the University Wisconsin University Minnesota University of Nebraska
