Researchers Discover Cure For Nicotine Addiction
PHILADELPHIA—Researchers at the University of Temple announced yesterday that they had finally discovered a cure for nicotine addicts: smoking cigarettes.
Lead researcher Dr. Harold Hearst explained the discovery. "The only way to effectively fight the cravings associated with the highly-addictive drug, nicotine, is to give your body its supply of desired nicotine, via smoking another cigarette. Smoking allows the nicotine found in cigarettes to travel to your brain in just seven seconds, effectively satisfying the craving."
Fighting nicotine addiction has been a hotly discussed issue over the past years, but nothing seems to work as effectively as smoking cigarettes. Twenty-five-year-old Aaron McKooms, part of the Temple research team and longtime smoker, elaborated. "I've tried everything, from those nicotine patches to the gum, but nothing relaxes me like a nice, smooth Camel."
While the Surgeon General and American Lung Association (ALA) warn that smoking may cause lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and can even complicate pregnancy, Hearst feels that's a small price to pay to fight nicotine addiction. "Nicotine addiction is one of today's biggest problems, not only in America but the whole world. How many people have lung cancer or emphysema? My bet is it's a lot less than the number of people addicted to nicotine."
