Cause Your Health Counts

A vaccine that stops you smoking because you are no longer getting a buzz from the nicotine looks like becoming a reality say researchers. The vaccine has been developed by the Swiss biotechnology company Cytos.

How does smoking vaccine work?
The vaccine is based on a bacteriopage, a virus that attacks bacteria. The vaccine uses part of a protein that attracts an immune response to nicotine. Antibodies bind to the nicotine and it then prevents it from getting through to the brain. Without the ‘high’ that you get from the nicotine the incentive to smoke diminishes. The vaccine should make it easier makes it easier to give up tobacco.

Many people think that smoking is not as harmful as many organizations and anti-smoking campaigns are trying to convince. But the truth is obvious. Nowadays we have access to plenty of sources which can give us the appropriate information about the history of smoking or the culture of smoking. We have information about the whole process of producing cigarettes and stuff of this kind and this is not all. The public society – people, organizations, national medical institutes and so on, we meet in internet is a big argument about the problem we have today. In XXI century each person is facing up against difficulties connected to his own health and his need to take care for it.

Smoking is a habit bad or good but the central problem is that when we smoke we don’t give a chance to people near us to make their choice. We have made our choice.

Smoking not only can kill us faster than time but it can make us regret for our foolishness.

Recent examinations found out that cigarettes cause more deaths than cocaine, auto accidents, AIDS, alcohol, heroin, fire, suicide and homicide combined. This is not a lie. This is a conclusion. What can we do to stop the man made killer? Is there a power which can stop us take measures? We are dyeing from the moment we were born. Humans are not immortal. Is this truth enough to convince us that we do not need to take care about our longevity?
