Stimulants

323
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...

Drugs 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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Nicotine and Tobacco Research
  • Substance Use Studies

Background:

  • Oral nicotine pouches (ONP) represent a growing category of non-tobacco nicotine products.
  • International data on ONP use is expanding, but Canadian-specific research, particularly among young adults, remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify and characterize the prevalence of current oral nicotine pouch (ONP) use among Canadian post-secondary students.
  • To explore patterns of ONP use in conjunction with other nicotine and non-nicotine substances.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional web survey was administered to 452 Canadian post-secondary students in September/October 2024.
  • Data collected included demographics, ONP history, recent use, concurrent substance use, and nicotine dependence via the Penn State Nicotine Pouch Dependence Index (PSNPDI).

Main Results:

  • Overall, 27% of students reported ever-using ONPs, with 12% reporting use in the past 30 days. The mean age of first use was 19.2 years.
  • ONP users demonstrated significantly higher rates of past tobacco (77%) and e-cigarette (89%) use compared to non-ONP users (24% and 44%, respectively).
  • Among ONP ever-users, nicotine dependence levels varied, with 62.3% reporting no dependence, 29.5% low dependence, and 8.2% medium dependence based on PSNPDI scores.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers initial insights into ONP consumption patterns within the Canadian post-secondary student population.
  • Findings highlight concurrent use of ONPs with traditional tobacco and e-cigarettes, suggesting complex nicotine product use behaviors.
  • These data serve as a baseline for monitoring future trends in oral nicotine pouch adoption and associated risks in this demographic.
