Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between environmental smoking restrictions, distinguished by site, and smoking cessation by Chinese urban residents. Recruited through multi-stage quota-sampling, residents in six Chinese cities were surveyed. Data were both individual-level and city-level. Among 4735 respondents, 715 were identified as successful quitters and 405 as unsuccessful. Multilevel logistic regression analysis showed smoking cessation to be associated with city-level public place and workplace restrictions and individual-level workplace and household restrictions. Results offer justification for decision-makers to implement environmental tobacco control policies and related public health interventions aimed at markedly diminishing the high smoking prevalence in China.

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...
