anti-nicotine

Anti-nicotine preventive measures must form part of this action, too.

These "anti-nicotine" chemicals would make you feel down, depressed, and tired if you were not smoking.

Over time, the brain learns to predict when you are going to smoke a cigarette - and releases the "anti-nicotine" chemicals.

The anti-nicotine antibodies generated by NicVax are proteins that bind to the nicotine molecule.

The multishot sequences being tested are designed to extend the antibody response for many months, although eventually the body will stop producing the anti-nicotine antibodies, he said.

If the brain releases too much of these two chemicals, the brain chemistry gets imbalanced and releases its own "anti-nicotine" chemicals when you smoke.

TA-NIC is an immunotherapeutic vaccine similar in concept to TA-CD, designed to raise anti-nicotine antibodies.

But Strasbourg's anti-nicotine brigade has won a consolation prize: the health and social-affairs commissioner, Mrs Vasso Papandreou, has promised to look at a ban in the future.

In a further Phase IIb trial, a statistically significant number of patients with a high anti-nicotine antibody response met the primary endpoint of eight weeks of continuous abstinence between weeks 19-26.

When drawing up an anti-nicotine policy, therefore, we must examine the problem from a number of angles to ensure that the legal reality we establish provides effective help in solving the problems linked to the use of nicotine products.

TA-NIC is a proprietary vaccine in development similar to TA-CD but being used to create human anti-nicotine antibodies in a person to destroy nicotine in the human body so that it is no longer effective.

In the time available to me I would like to touch on another problem, which has its origins in the anti-nicotine policy pursued by a number of governments, namely the rise in smuggling of counterfeit tobacco products, their main attraction being that they are cheaper than the original product.
