Google is filtering searches on Nicotine

[MonkInsane]

Hi everyone,

Just a little something I noticed.

Google seems to have recently changed their filtering to bring up pubmed articles relating to the nicotine inhaler first when searching for pubmed nicotine inhaltion

Reason I bring this up is I was looking for the link to this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8614291 , and always searched for it using that exact search phraze, and it was always at the top of my results.

Think it's deliberate?

Yeah ....Let's just call it a coincidence.
The idea of Google working with Big Brother, BP, Corporations,
and a specific political party ... is just a rumor.

That's funny, I was trying to find the exact same study yesterday and having a hell of a time. Luckily I remembered where there was a link to it in a blog.

Why would it NOT bring up Pubmed, when Pubmed is the first term in your search string?
Anyway, Google results are (unfortunately, if you ask me) unique to the individual now. The results you get are partly based on your search terms, but also partly based on your previous recent searches and result views. It bugs the heck out of me.
But unless you have some unusual settings, that's how it works.

I just did your search, and that study was #1 result...

Mommie Google ... Knows best

I just stumbled upon this study that I found many years ago:

High-dose nicotine patch therapy. Percentage of replace... [JAMA. 1995] - PubMed - NCBI

So if a 44 mg patch is safe and more effective in the case of heavier smokers, why didn't GSK ever apply to have that dosage approved by FDA?

They only want to lower the nicotine content so people will need to buy more . . . more tax money to spend. It all, everything comes down to MONEY more money for them to throw away.

They aren't wasting our money ... They're redistributing it !!

I believe that Google Answers to One Master. And One Master Only.

I got this 2006 study when I tried to do the same search. Read the abstract and replace each 'inhaler' with 'e-cigarette'. Amazing.

Efficacy of the nicotine inhaler in smoking... [Nicotine Tob Res. 2006] - PubMed - NCBI

 

[Vocalek]

Wow. Those results are surprisingly close to the results that Dr. Polosa had.

 

[NicoHolic]

Why are you still using Google and filling their database about you? Try duckduckgo. I use it on everything.

 

[pamdis]

Thank you NicoHog, I think I may have just found my new search engine.

Reason I bring this up is I was looking for the link to this study Long-term effects of inhaled nicotine. [Life Sci. 1996] - PubMed - NCBI , and always searched for it using that exact search phraze, and it was always at the top of my results.

You misspelled inhalation as inhaltion, which may affect your results, although Google does tend to correct spelling.

See the Wikipedia post for Google's PageRank algorithm.

No, it isn't deliberate.

Just like the rumor I heard that the sun was going to rise tomorrow.

Only about a dozen different NRT products have been approved by the FDA in the past 30 years, but nobody knows (except some FDA regulators who cannot reveal) how many NRT drug applications were NOT approved by the FDA (as that's proprietary information).

Since drug companies spend at least several million dollars (in research, lab tests, etc.) just to submit an application to FDA for new drug approval, the drug companies carefully decide (based on many criteria) which products to submit applications for (and which products not to submit applications for).

That's what is also very likely to happen to e-cigs if FDA imposes regulations on them (and if UK MHRA imposes medicines regulations on e-cigs), which will only benefit several companies whose one or several e-cig products get approved by FDA (and/or by MHRA). The rest of the e-cig companies and products will disappear or go blackmarket.

Ironically, the FDA might approve NJOY's King as a "new tobacco product" at the same time UK MHRA approves it as a "medicine".
