Abstract:
PurposeTo examine associations between identified factors to accessing Food and Drug Administration-approved quit medication (FDAQM) and use among a sample of tobacco users.DesignCross-sectional, online survey.SettingCounty in Central California.SubjectsCurrent adult tobacco users (n = 76).MeasuresDemographics self-reported likelihood of quitting in the next month, contacting a healthcare provider about quitting, time since last healthcare visit, provider asking about tobacco/nicotine use, provider advice to quit, provider FDAQM prescription and FDAQM use in the past year.AnalysisLogistic regression.ResultsThose with a higher likelihood of quitting had a lower odds of FDAQM use (OR = 0.15, 95% CI = 0.03, 0.73) while those who had contacted a healthcare provider had a higher odds (OR = 15.39, 95% CI = 2.72, 87.05).ConclusionWhile the sample was limited, this research provides evidence in an understudied tobacco cessation area. More work is needed to understand the generalizability of these results and develop interventions that address these factors.

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...
