An update on nicotine use in adolescents
1Northwell, New Hyde Park, NY, United States.
Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care
|June 27, 2025
Summary
Adolescent use of e-cigarettes and oral nicotine is increasing, despite marketing as safer alternatives. Healthcare providers need awareness of these products, their health effects, and cessation strategies for adolescents.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Adolescent Health
- Nicotine Products
Background:
- Traditional cigarette use is declining among adolescents.
- E-cigarette and oral nicotine product use is increasing in adolescents.
- Social media marketing targets younger age groups for these products.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the rising use of e-cigarettes and oral nicotine among adolescents.
- To inform about the negative health effects of these products.
- To emphasize the need for provider awareness and cessation support.
Main Methods:
- Review of current trends in adolescent nicotine product use.
- Analysis of marketing strategies targeting adolescents.
- Examination of health implications associated with e-cigarettes and oral nicotine.
Main Results:
- E-cigarettes and oral nicotine are increasingly popular among adolescents.
- These products are often marketed as safer alternatives but pose health risks.
- Social media plays a significant role in product promotion to youth.
Conclusions:
- Adolescent use of novel nicotine products requires attention.
- Healthcare providers must be educated on these products and cessation methods.
- Public health initiatives are needed to address this trend.

01:23Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
1.5K
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...

01:29Stimulants
329
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

01:27CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine
368
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

01:17Drug Dependence
1.2K
Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

01:15Cholinergic Receptors: Nicotinic
3.9K
Nicotinic receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that are activated by acetylcholine and nicotine. Upon activation, they cause a rapid increase in the permeability of cells to K+, Na+, and Ca2+, followed by depolarization and excitation. They are in the autonomic ganglia, skeletal neuromuscular junction, CNS, and adrenal medulla.
There are two types of nicotinic receptors: neuromuscular (NM/NM/N1) and neuronal (NN/NN/N2). The two families differ based on their location and selectivity to...

01:15Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena
659
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...
