Smoking Vaccine

[Chris From Cali]

Yup thats right, take a shot and stop smoking. Could this be the end for the ecigs? Would you take the shot?

Then let's hear your thoughts...


I'm wondering how well this would work because it blocks nicotine from hitting the brain, now that is all well and good but how long will it last? How bad will the withdraws be? Interesting.

Although the Washington Post story is new, this has been reported by other news sources and there are a couple of threads going on it.

Oh, and my answer, for the record, is NFW.

Methadone for smokers...wow. I second the NFW!

If I'm still vaping by the end of next year, then nothing will make me quit. I'm already back down to low nic after a month of vaping and just enjoy puffing away.

So, it prevents nic from reaching the brain. How is it different than quitting cold turkey? Either way there is no nic and the brain still wants it, hence withdrawl.

Yea I assume there would be some withdrawl as well, but what I wonder most, is will there be any off the wall side effects like so many of the vaccines out on the market.

A friend was just talking about Chantix the other day, and that is kind of how it works - it blocks nicotine receptors, so you can smoke your brains out, but it won't do any good. He quit successfully, but said it was very frustrating, and he had plenty of withdrawal symptoms.
