eople who want to quit smoking may soon have something to help them. The Swiss drug company Cytos Biotechnology has developed and tested a vaccine that fights nicotine. The vaccine produces antibodies in our blood that stop nicotine from entering the brain. The antibodies reduce the desire of smokers to have a cigarette. It also lessens the pleasure that smokers experience when they smoke.

新招助戒烟族戒烟。瑞士塞托斯生物科技公司正在研制尼古丁疫苗。疫苗会在血液中形成抗体，防止尼古丁影响大脑。这种抗体可以降低烟瘾。减少因抽烟所带来的兴奋感。

Experiments on 341 heavy smokers produced impressive success rates. Forty percent of those who received the vaccine stopped smoking. All smokers who took the vaccine developed the antibodies that reduce the desire for a cigarette. Cytos believes it has the best answer to date to fight nicotine addiction. This is good news for the world’s 1.3 billion smokers. Five million people die each year from smoking.

研究人员对341名“烟鬼”进行了实验，戒烟成功率惊人。疫苗注射后，40%烟民成功戒烟。341人全部产生抗体，烟瘾大大降低。塞托斯生物认为，它是目前治疗尼古丁成瘾的最佳方法。对于全球13亿烟民来说，这的的确确是个好消息。每年有500万人死于吸烟。
