New Treatments

Which of the two I am interested in for entirely scientific reasons and which one for more personal reasons, you guess:

Spray Could Offer New Front-line Treatment For Men With Premature Ejaculation:

Patients with premature ejaculation who used a topical anaesthetic spray were able to delay ejaculation for five times as long, according to a study in the February issue of the urology journal BJU International. Researchers from the UK and Netherlands studied 54 men with premature ejaculation, randomly assigning them to a treatment and control group. Both groups reported that without any therapy they normally ejaculated an average of one minute after vaginal penetration.

Recently Licensed Nicotine Receptor Stimulant Trebles Odds Of Stopping Smoking:

A recently licensed nicotine receptor stimulant trebles the odds of stopping smoking. The new anti-smoking drug varenicline was first licensed for use in the UK on 5th December 2006. An early Cochrane Review of its effectiveness shows that it can give a three-fold increase in the odds of a person quitting smoking. Varenicline is the first new anti-smoking drug in the last ten years, and only the third, after NRT and bupropion, to be licensed in the USA for smoking cessation.

I love when scientists study the good stuff. Infectious Disease? Trite! Global warming? Cliche! Cure for cancer? Boring! So what is a dedicated, hard working scientist supposed to study to really make a difference in the world? Oh, I have an idea! Premature Ejaculation!
