Good news for smokers who wanted to quit

According to Associated Press, doctors testing an experimental vaccine that makes the immune system attack nicotine in much the same way it would fight a life-threatening germ.
The treatment keeps nicotine from reaching the brain, making smoking less pleasurable and theoretically, easier to give up. The small amount that still manages to get in helps to ease withdrawal, the main reason most quitters relapse.
If it works _ and this has not yet been proved _ the vaccine could become part of a new generation of smoking cessation treatments. They attack dependency in the brain instead of just replacing the nicotine from cigarettes in a less harmful way, like the gum, lozenges, patches and nasal sprays sold today.

Possible side effects are growth of new limbs in funny places and loss of eye fluid. Good luck.

I was talking about the gunk inside your eyeball. Not tears.
And I cried like a bitch the other night at the end of like some Degrassi episode. I cry at the drop of a hat. I win at life.
edit: wasnt Degrassi, it was Grey's Anatomy, where one of the babies died. oh sweet jesus, there was no holding back the waterworks.

Well, being pregnant does dehydrate you everywhere...I don't see why the gunk in your eyeball would be immune.
Ok...I'm reaching here, but flow with it.

It actually wasnt (originally) linked to pregnancy at all. I was just naming fucked up side effects. I think losing your eyeball fluid would be pretty fucked up.
