Abstract:
Tobacco and nicotine use is widely recognized as harmful to both the user and those exposed to the substances. Pregnant individuals face additional risks, with potential adverse outcomes for the fetus and newborn. A combination of behavioral and pharmacological interventions is recommended for smoking cessation; however, in pregnancy, there are additional considerations with the use of pharmacotherapy. This article will address the role pharmacotherapy may play in smoking cessation during pregnancy.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...
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...
