Abstract:
Background: Cigarette smoking is a widely recognized risk factor for several diseases and a crucial problem in global health, as it contributes to the development and worsening of various diseases, resulting in an increase in both morbidity and mortality. One of the strategies to reduce the impact of tobacco damage is based on the transition from flammable to non-flammable nicotine products. Objectives: The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the effects of traditional cigarette smoking and non-combustible nicotine products on kidney function. Conclusions: The evidence shows that both combustible and non-combustible nicotine products have harmful effects on kidney health and may promote the onset and progression of kidney dysfunction, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD).

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
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 sympathetic or...
