Smoking vaccine 'a step closer'. Smokers always say, "you haven't smoked? That's fantastic; don't do it". I think that I understand. Something gives you pleasure at the start soon turns into a habit or a dependency - and before you know it, you are telling people that don't smoke that they shouldn't! So what will happen when all of these smokers get immunised? They do say that there's nothing worse than a reformed smoker, and if there 13 million in the UK are suddenly "cured" then what will be the topic in our fresh smelling pubs? It's funny how they have invented something that "cures" smokers, when the smokers are doing a good job of curing themselves!
