Abstract:
Meta analyses and systematic reviews reported to date provide substantial scientific support for certain forms of pharmacotherapy in smoking cessation.

However, when combined with appropriate behavioral interventions and a demonstrated willingness of the patient to quit tobacco use, drug therapy is a valuable adjunctive service.

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating sympathetic or...
