Article Abstract:

Scientists believe that vaccines targeting nicotine might help some individuals quit the nicotine habit. A nicotine vaccine is designed to stimulate the production of nicotine antibodies, which might block some of nicotine's reinforcing effects by sequestering the chemical in blood and preventing it from reaching the brain.
