Wired 11.02: Come to LeBow Country
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:49 am EST, Jan 28, 2003

] His theory is that Americans like to make lifestyle
] changes the easy way. We'd rather eat low-fat food than
] eat less. We prefer Prozac to psychotherapy. The newest
] passive solution, he says, will be his three-tiered
] cigarette series - the Quest 1, 2, and 3. The first two
] deliver 17 and 58 percent less nicotine, respectively,
] than the average light cigarette by blending regular
] tobacco with Vector's genetically modified, nicotine-free
] product. Quest 3 contains only the nicotine-free tobacco.
] Try as you might, it won't give you a buzz. But, as
] Vector execs admit, all three still contain almost all of
] the carcinogens present in other cigarettes. They'll give
] you cancer and heart disease just like regular smokes.

An article found in this months issue of Wired about a new way to stop smoking by smoking. They genetically modified tobacco so that it doesn't generate nicotine, so you can work on cutting your addiction to nicotine before working on your addiction to the habit of smoking. Sounds pretty interesting....now, where do you get these smokes?
