Rose found that people with genes that more efficiently code for bupropion breakdown respond better to the drug, while people with genetic variants that improve cell communication - also called adhesion - seem to have an easier time overall in quitting. That makes sense, since addictive behaviors such as smoking are deeply ingrained in the brain, and are strongly tied to social and environmental triggers. That network of neural connections, once cemented, is tough to break.

A PPP statement following Sharif's announcement said that there was "no doubt that the sacked judges have to be restored ... the only question is how best to do it." Sharif, for his part, also took a conciliatory tone, saying he was "very pained" by his decision. But after weeks of talks, including a crisis meeting between the two men in London over the weekend, the issue is unlikely to be resolved, and there is a real chance that the two parties will slide back into the destructive merry...
