Abstract:
Smoking can negatively influence the development of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of adolescents and increase the risk for chronic diseases in adulthood. Promotion smoking cessation in adolescents is important for the protection of adolescent health and reduction of smoking rate in adults. Although many foreign studies have explored the influencing factors and interventions for smoking cessation in adolescents, limited relevant studies have been conducted in China, especially the study of smoking cessation intervention, which is still in its infancy, so the research and practice in this field need to be strengthened. This paper summarizes the factors associated with smoking cessation in adolescents both at home and abroad from the perspective of individual, family, school, and social surrounding, and introduce existing smoking cessation interventions for adolescents to provide references for future studies.

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...
