Will not work for people who are vaping / smoking out of habit...I can vape 0mg without withdrawal, does this mean I am not an addict? Nope..still need to have something that emit smoke in my hand..

Quote from the article: "The vaccine works by genetically engineering an antibody that filters out nicotine when it enters the blood....... they will receive no pleasure from it due to the nicotine vaccine, and that can help them kick the habit......"

Now.. That's interesting.. could be done, but why target only nicotine? I'm pretty sure that there are more sustance out there that our kids needs to be prevented from..

This is pure BS.

Nicotine is only as addictive as caffeine and it is not so easily absorb by the body.

It is a known fact that tobacco companies are adding ammonia to their cigarettes thereby creating a supercharged version of nicotine which hits the blood stream within 10s of puffing. Nicotine is getting a bad name because it is found abundantly in tobacco leaves(eggplants contain nicotine too).

This is just another ploy to get people to buy smoking cessation products that are actually not that effective.

The most effective way would be to force the tobacco companies to reveal what goes into their cigarettes and eliminate the problem at its source.

Remember this, cigarettes are the only product that harms the user when used as directed.

As a Pharma student, I feel that there is not necessary for this jab...cause if it were to alter the body's function and reaction there would be dire consequences cause this vaccine is creating something new in the body to avoid something and may affect things other than just Nicotine itself.

Like for some cases of medications or vaccines I have learnt there ARE those which can cause kidney failure, heart attack, liver failure etc. in certain people. Usually vaccines is prevention but it cannot help cure the Original illnes or sickness. Sorry for the post just stating what I have learnt at school. I just cant explain it in layman's term as it is waay too long to read .

if the jab really works and it helps ppl to kick the habit, it's good. but I dont think it will be that easy. later waste $$$ to realise the thing is not helping at all. wait for reviews as well as the pricing to be announced first.

I will need an anti hand to mouth habit jab as well.

What if....people took the jab and it some how change their genes or infect them with some wierd disease? Then we have to start

 

[Whoopin]

I don't think it did work actually .__.

Like, look at those vaping goodies that are available

 

[crazyass69]

i agree with wannaquitsmoking...
if its sold too expensive, then whats the point?

wonder if they would use lab rats for this.... hmm...

FDA probably will ban this kind of jab.

 

[wannaquitsmoking]

they should try to promote & encourage vaping to help smokers kick the habit....make it legal...Yea!!!!

 

[Heavybag]

Think theyy won't allow the jab here one lah...Make up reasons like maybe the jab got potential side effects blah blah.If allow is,really,flushing money down the toilet bowl...

This is the swine flu jab all over again. Remember how there was like 5 people who died from swine flu, people panicked and went to get the jab. Then 14 people died from the jab instead. To the people who think this is a good idea, all I'm going to say is, stop it. Just stop it.

Big pharma won't make cures.... They make stuff to not make u die from it.
