In a study by the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands scientists concluded that the variety in vegetable consumption was inversely associated with lung cancer risk among current smokers. The more different types of vegetables and fruits a smoker ate the greater the reduction in incidence of cell damage which is a indicator of increased lung cancer risk.

There are now less young adults smoking than in the last 20 years. Smoking causes several health problems, but by far the most deadly is lung cancer, which is still very hard to treat. Most people that develop lung cancer are already in an advanced stage (stage 4) before diagnosis is made. Usually a smokers cough results in coughing up blood and then a trip to the hospital reveals cancer. So, good news that government intervention on smoking is working. Now time to make more changes, remove cigarette from more shops, implement new licences for the selling of tobacco products?]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/news/fewer-young-adults-are-smoking-since-the-ban/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Anti-Smoking Vaccine Coming Soon &#8211; NicVAX</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/smoking/anti-smoking-vaccine-coming-soon-nicvax</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/smoking/anti-smoking-vaccine-coming-soon-nicvax#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:52:14 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Medimise</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Smoking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GSK]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nabi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NicVAX]]></category> <category><![CDATA[quit smoking]]></category> <guid

A recent deal between pharmaceutical giants GlaxoSmithKline and Nabi Pharmaceuticals means that there is a strong chance that NicVAX, a quit smoking drug that was developed by Nabi may soon make it to market. No doubt there is some further testing to be carried out first. GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA (GSK) and Nabi Biopharmaceuticals (Nabi) today announced an exclusive worldwide option and licensing agreement for a nicotine conjugate candidate vaccine (NicVAX(R)), an investigational vaccine for the treatment of nicotine addiction and the prevention of smoking relapse, as well as for the development of a second generation nicotine vaccine. Under the terms of the agreement GSK will pay to Nabi an upfront non-refundable fee of $40 million at closing and will receive an option to exclusively in-license NicVAX on a worldwide basis and a license to develop follow-on next-generation nicotine vaccines using Nabi&#8217;s intellectual property.

Also, you will save a lot of money, which during the current global economic crisis, can only be a good thing. To help you quit smoking, we have put together an action plan, which provides a step-by-step guide to giving up smoking.
