Nicotine vaccine continues to show promise
1st Dec 2005, 21:14 GMT
Research with a new nicotine vaccine shows that the vaccine is safe and well tolerated, with higher doses producing a greater rate of abstinence. “We were pleased to see that because that indicates this vaccine does indeed have a significant impact on smoking behavior,” said Dr. Dorothy K. Hatsukami of the Tobacco Use Research Center in Minneapolis. The finding of increased abstinence, she added, was “surprising.” The next step, Hatsukami said, will be to conduct studies to identify the optimum dose and scheduling for administering the vaccine. She noted that the vaccine could be a useful tool to help smokers quit, although in order to kick the habit it will likely be necessary for them to address behavioral aspects of smoking. “It’s not going to be a miracle cure.”
