Vaccine to quit smoking?

Well, there is aren’t too many approaches which have not been taken in trying to prevent smoking, but a new vaccine developed by Nabi,// a pharmaceutical company, promises new hope in preventing people from relapsing. The vaccine (NicVAX) binds nicotine and prevents it from reaching the brain, where it causes its stimulatory effects. In animal control experiments, the vaccine was effective in preventing brain distribution of nicotine. For India? We need a Beedi Vaccine!
