The vaccine will work as well as the patch or pill that helps eliminate the smoking habit, but with better efficiency by specifically targeting the liver cells and to avoid side effects in all cells.
This year, researchers plan to focus on mass production of cells and virus testing in animals to determine the proper dose before launching the test in humans in 2012.
