Abstract:
A new composition is disclosed for the prevention of smoking which consists essentially of: (a) 2 to 4 parts/weight of a solution of silver acetate in distilled water or deionized water at a concentration of 1. 5 to 7. 5 g/l; and (b) 1 part/weight of a solution of ethanol of a pharmaceutical grade in which is dissolved an effective amount of a flavoring agent in the ethanol. Preferably, the composition is applied by spraying. The composition is made by a process which involves stirring of a mixture of water and the silver acetate for a prolonged period and combining the silver acetate solution with a solution of a flavoring agent in ethanol. When sprayed into the mouth, the resulting composition gives an unpleasant metallic taste discouraging smoking.
