I'm sure you two will have plenty of info for us on this new "cure" for smokers. Let's follow the money, shall we? ;)

It sounds like you are trying to sell a conspiracy theory.

The entire concept of this new vaccine in offensive in that it is based on the assumption that smokers are addicted. Where is the evidence that smoking is addictive?

Everyone knows that people smoke not because they are addicted but because they choose to smoke. This is yet another example of the Nanny State attempting to alter a voluntary and legal activity.

Off the top of my head the predominant leaf for the non-tobacco cigarettes is lettuce. Cabbage, Kale and spinach also come to mind.

My husband says that my garden has never looked lovlier. ;) LOL By the way, have you heard about the smoking nazi's trying to take over Anchorage businesses? Damn fools and nanny state wannabe's are even up here.

"I'm sure you two will have plenty of info for us on this new "cure" for smokers."

Thanks for the post, this is just more demonization of smokers. Why would they need a cure? Only because someone thinks smoking is a disease.....

So, now smoking is a "diseased" and needs a "vaccination".

Screw 'em and the horse they rode in on.

When I decide quit I won't need no steeeeenking "vaccine" to help me.

Are you serious? Why then do so many people fail to quit even when they really wish to? Or are they just lying about their wish to quit?

This sounds like good news if it works. Since this will clearly be voluntary, who could possibly be upset by it?

It may provide an easier way for people who desire to quit to save thousands of dollars a year and to stop the damage to their health.
