Anti-Smoking Vaccine Might Stop The Crave

A trial vaccine is currently being tested on citizens of 3 undisclosed Scandinavian countries to eliminate the need for nicotine in smokers. The Swedish scientists who are in charge of the study say that the drug makes the nicotine molecules too big for them to enter the brain. Here is what Professor Morgan Sten has to say about the nicotine when treated with the vaccine: 

“It will not be able to enter the central nervous system and since the euphoria entry, the rewarding effects of smoking obviously doesn’t take place in the stomach but in the brain, by preventing it from reaching the brain we prevent the whole point in smoking.”   

A participant of the trial commented on the effects of the vaccine:  

“Physically it works, you clear your body of nicotine and probably that will get rid of the physical craving but the mental craving will still be there and there’s no vaccine against that.”

 This is not the only current trial vaccine in progress. But that’s not the point. We need people to understand that smoking kills, and their is no doubt in that statement. It actually kills 5 million people worldwide per annum, according to the World Health Organization. Feel free to comment.
