A new stop smoking vaccine is currently under development in hopes of helping long time smokers to quit. Nicotine, the main ingredient in cigarettes, is enchanced with numerous chemicals that are designed to increase addictive behavior and produce recurring consumers. This counteragent is designed to prevent nicotene from being absorbed into the brain. It is to be administered via a monthly injection. The serum incorporates nicotene antibodies that cause the nicotine in the blood to bind together, making them too big to pass into the brain. By removing the nicotine from the brain, it prevents the feeding of the addiction.
The effort to quit smoking failed for years as most believed that smoking was a habit and it was up to the individual to break the smoking habit. Today, most agree that it is the addiction to nicotine that makes quitting so difficult. Tools, such as the stop smoking vaccine are designed to help break the nicotine addiction, making smoking easier to quit.
If the brain is looked at like the cartoon version of wheels and cogs running in synchronized unity and when one cog breaks off the function ceases, it is easier to understand the effects of nicotine. Think of one cog as nicotine, and when it is no longer there, function ceases until a new cog takes its place. The stop smoking vaccine will remove the nicotine cog while other therapies can replace it, until a natural one can be back in place.
Additional Help Available With Vaccine Studies
Almost all participants in recent stop smoking vaccine studies, were given additional resources to quit smoking, including counseling and their success rate is measured through biochemical means. Instead of relying solely on personal diaries in which daily nicotine needs are recorded, researchers conducted tests to measure carbon monoxide in the person's exhaled breath. This insures the accuracy of the diaries as well as demonstrating how quitting smoking returns oxygen levels to the body.
Studies included the injection of nicotine antibodies once a month for six months and the success rate has moved the clinical trials into the next phase. Developed by Cytos Biotechnology, all trials have been conducted in Sweden.
Inaugural studies involved the use of nicotine replacement therapy. However, the second phase excluded the replacement therapy. The level of nicotine antibodies in
the blood as well as the number of people who were able to cease smoking during the first six months, is making the researchers optimistic about the possible success of
the stop smoking vaccine. Further development and additional testing will be conducted to determine the long term benefits as well as the potential for side effects to the stop smoking vaccine. Many of the side effects typically associated with smoking cessation were solved by the replacement therapy and hopes are now that the nicotine dependency is reduced, withdrawal symptoms will be negligible. Researchers believe that the vaccine could be available within 5 years.
