Yeah, I don't really get the whole addiction thing. I go from smoking a couple of packs a week to none at all without any effort at all really. Been about 3 months since I last felt like one, but its no big deal if I have another one because I never really get the compulsion to pick one up again.

And I would be against a ban also.

Now, it says it also works for cocaine?? That has the potential to really turn around lives...

Some people are just lucky with willpower, I have crap willpower, good job I don't smoke...

I quit for a year once, and I almost never smoke before 8 pm. I usually don't smoke unless I'm having a drink, but I drink like a fish, so . . .

Ziroc, dude, I certainly hope they don't ban smoking. Whether or not I do it. It's a free country, but getting less free by the day. Of course, once smoking is banned, then we should ban coffee -- which ruins teeth and is the result of countless office rug stains. Then, let's ban sugar, because that's a drug too.

Meh.... We should be legalizing substances, not adding more banned substances to the list.

Yes, then let's ban teh interent because it is addictive...
I know where you're coming from Timber.
I don't smoke. And I've been trying on convince a friend to stop, but he won't, so I have given up.(almost!)
I have no problem with people smoking, just please: not too near me. I hate the smell, and it makes me choke. Just like spray deoderants.
I think i have pretty crap will power as well vaskez. I guess you're either lucky or you aren't.

Originally posted by Chewbacca: Sweet! I enjoy smoking alot but have always disliked the addiction. Being able to do it once a day/week/month without having "The Jonez" would be quite excellent.

But the article states that you won't get much enjoyment from smoking or coccaine, so if you did get immunised there would be no point in smoking, there would be no benifit.
Personally, i wouldn't get immunised, but it could be life changing for some people.

Oh, and smoking will be totally banned over my dead American body. I enjoy it, it is my right to do it. No more prohibiton and the crime it creates. We have enough already.

Damn straight!
