Looks like they are trying to one up the US FDA. Didn't they get the memo that the FDA tried that and lost?
Or did their pay off the right people.

We wouldn't want e-cigarettes to jeopardize "Advanced Medical Research Institute of Canada (AMRIC)" work on a nicotine vaccine, currently in development at Laurentian University in Sudbury.

I therefore assume that the nicotine research going on now proving that some nicotine therapies are good for preventing some conditions like short term memory loss associated with Alzheimers, the prevention of Parkinson's disease, the help to ADHD sufferers in focusing their attention. therapies for schizophrenia et al are not being read in Canada.

Vaccinating people against nicotine puts the percentage of the population who might benefit from nicotine therapy out in the cold, so to speak.

newswire.ca appears to be the only news agency reporting on Health Canada's overreach in fight against e-Cigarettes and prosecution of “ecig Canada”. All search hits link back to newswire.ca.

Instead of developing a nicotine vaccination, I would prefer AMRIC spend the money to further research Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos work on ecigs.

I left a voice message at the phone number listed for Mike Mulligan of ecig Ontario (offering my assistance), but nobody ever responded.

Don't know if the press release was bogus or not.

Anyone ever hear of or do business with Mike Mulligan or ecig Ontario?

I don't think you understand. It is OK if materials are sold by pharma but not if they are consumer products. Coffee is next: you don't need it because pharma can sell you caffeine pills.

Have also read that nicotine may prevent contracting the swine flu. Interesting.
