Smoking
VARENINCLINE
From Pfizer, Varenincline is the first non-nicotine agent developed to help smokers quit. The pills activate the nicotine receptor, fooling the smoker into thinking his craving has been satisfied. In a seven-week trial, researchers reported a 50% quit rate, an improvement over the 7%-10% success with the patch or gum after six months.

Stop-Smoking Shot
By Jeanne Ambrose


A new vaccine, called NicVAX, could make it easier for smokers to quit.




Of the nearly 34 million people in this country who have tried to quit smoking, only 1.2 million have actually managed to kick the habit permanently, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a new vaccine, called NicVAX, could make it easier for quitters to win.

NicVAX works by preventing nicotine from entering the brain where it normally acts as a stimulant. "An immunized tobacco user would theoretically receive no positive reinforcement from nicotine use," said Robert Naso, Ph.D., a senior vice president at Nabi Biopharmaceuticals, which developed the vaccine. Final approval for NicVAX could take several years.
