Drugs to Quit Smoking Said Show Promise

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the irony and absurdity here?

"It's the biggest addiction market there is," said Dr. Herbert D. Kleber, a psychiatry professor and addiction researcher at Columbia University. "Is it realistic to be able to help addicts stop smoking and remain off with a pill? I think the answer is yes and we're working on a number of them."

We have a saying here in the Midwest to indicate that there's no difference between two thing: six of one and a half dozen of the other. That saying fits this bizarre scenerio perfectly...
