| | Nicotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nicotine seems to provide both a stimulant and a depressant effect, and it is likely that the effect it has at any time is determined by the mood of the user, the environment and the circumstances of use. | | | The primary therapeutic use of nicotine is in treating nicotine dependence. | | | [3] However, research on nicotine as administered through a patch or gum is ongoing. |

| | Controls were: hemitransection and saline, sham operation and nicotine and sham operation and saline. | | | There is much experimental evidence that nicotine is an addictive drug and that it causes a level of tolerance in lab animals and humans, through its effect on the CNS. | | | In many studies, nicotine has been shown to adversely affect the cardiovascular system, chiefly through inducing vasoconstriction, thrombosis and increasing blood pressure and heart rate.(P8) Causal relationships have linked nicotine to myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, sudden cardiac death, peripheral artery occlusive disease, arteriosclerosis, aortic aneurysm and stroke. |

| | Nicotine and Addiction: Fact Sheet no. 9 - ASH |
| | Nicotine is a stimulant drug, but paradoxically effects of both stimulation and relaxation may be felt. | | | A state, psychic and sometimes also physical, resulting in the interaction between a living organism and a drug, characterised by behavioural and other responses that always include a compulsion to take the drug on a continuous or periodic basis in order to experience its psychic effects, and sometimes to avoid the discomfort of its absences. | | | Possibly one of the strongest indicators of the effect of nicotine is the discrepancy between the desire to quit and quitting success rates. |

| | The success rates for smoking cessation treatment with nicotine chewing gum vary considerably across studies, but evidence suggests that it is a safe means of facilitating smoking cessation if chewed according to instructions and restricted to patients who are under medical supervision. | | | Another approach to smoking cessation is the nicotine transdermal patch, a skin patch that delivers a relatively constant amount of nicotine to the person wearing it. | | | The decrease in CYP2A6 slows the breakdown of nicotine and protects individuals against nicotine addiction. |

| | Nicotine is absorbed through the skin and mucosal lining of the mouth and nose or by inhalation in the lungs. | | | Of primary importance to its addictive nature are findings that nicotine activates the brain circuitry that regulates feelings of pleasure, the so-called reward pathways. | | | Addiction is characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and use, even in the face of negative health consequences, and tobacco use certainly fits the description. |

| | Nicotine |
| | Nicotinic AChRs are found throughout the body, but they are most concentrated in the nervous system (the brain, the spinal cord, and the rest of the nerve cells in the body) and on the muscles of the body (in vertebrates). | | | For anything to act within the body, it needs a mechanism through which to "talk" to the inside of the cells (the units of the body). | | | (The whole process is very detailed and pretty well understood, but it is far too complicated to get into right here.) If you dissect out a muscle, and you apply nicotine to it, the muscle will still contract. |
