Smokers who want to kick the habit might soon get help from a product that’s being tested at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine:a mouthwash that makes cigarettes taste bad.It could be on the market within a year.
The anti-smoking rinse itself tastes rather pleasant.But if you light up within six to eight hours of drinking it,your cigarette will taste like burnt rubber and you won’t smoke past the first puff,explains Dr.Sebastian Ciancio,director of the center for Dental Studies at the University of Buffalo.Metal ions(离子) are what make it taste bad to smokers,he adds.
Ciancio is heading up a pilot study in which ten smokers,each of whom normally smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day,are rinsing their mouths three times daily with the anti-smoking solution.Another ten are getting a placebo(无效对照剂).Before this study,only the inventor had tested the anti-smoking rinse-a chemist who does not wish to be identified-and a few of his friends,who say it enabled them to quit smoking.
And Ciancio has no shortage of volunteers:The waiting list to take part in the study is already full.“People are desperate,” he says,“If the pilot study is successful,it will be expanded.”
Not only might the patented formulation(获得专利的配方) help give up smoking,Ciancio adds,but it also appears to reduce plaque(牙斑),gingivitis(牙龈炎) and halitosis(口臭).Man-ufacturing the rinse,he estimates,would cost nearly the same as ordinary mouthwashes.
