“As far as we can see, the best way to treat chronic nicotine addiction from smoking is to have these Pacman-like antibodies on patrol, clearing the blood as needed before nicotine can have any biological effect.”
There’s also another vaccines that have been developed to strength the immune system that bind to nicotine. It is to produce enough antibodies to stop the drug entering the brain and delivering its pleasure hit. The Weil Cornell Medical College have used different method by make genetically modified virus containing the instructions for making nicotine antibodies is used to infect the liver.
