Book Synopsis Cigarettes, Nicotine, and Health by : Lynn T. Kozlowski
Download or read book Cigarettes, Nicotine, and Health written by Lynn T. Kozlowski and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2001-04-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When smokers inhale smoke into their lungs, they take the drug nicotine into their bodies and brains, where it affects how the smokers feel and act. When smokers display their cigarettes, they are saying something symbolic and personal about themselves. And when smokers smoke, they put themselves at risk, often knowingly, of early disability or death. Smoking is one of the world′s most pressing public health problems. Cigarettes, Nicotine, and Health reviews the severe problems caused by smoking and examines individual and public health approaches to reducing smoking and its attendant health problems. Cigarettes are the most popular, most addictive, and most deadly form of tobacco use, with cigarette design contributing directly to the dangers of smoking; most of the book focuses on this predominant form of nicotine use.
Book Synopsis A Critique of Nicotine Addiction by : Hanan Frenk
Download or read book A Critique of Nicotine Addiction written by Hanan Frenk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicotine is almost universally believed to be the major factor that motivates smoking and impedes cessation. Authorities such as the Surgeon General of the USA and the Royal College of Physicians in the UK have declared that nicotine is as addictive as heroin and cocaine. This book is a critique of the nicotine addiction hypothesis, based on a critical review of the research literature that purports to prove that nicotine is as addictive drug. The review is based on a re-examination of more than 700 articles and books on this subject, including animal and human experimental studies, effects of `nicotine replacement therapies', and many other relevant sources. This review concludes that on present evidence, there is every reason to reject the generally accepted theory that nicotine has a major role in cigarette smoking. A critical examination of the criteria for drug addiction demonstrates that none of these criteria is met by nicotine, and that it is much more likely that nicotine in fact limits rather than facilitates smoking.

Download or read book Tobacco Smoking and Nicotine written by William R. Martin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicotine is the major factor in the continuation of the smoking habit among humans. On December 2-4, 1985, under the sponsorship of the Tobacco and Health Research Institute in Lexington, Kentucky, leading scientists from around the world whose research efforts have focused on the role of nicotine in the tobacco habit participated in an International Symposium to provide the most comprehensive and ~xtensive coverage of this topic so far. The material discussed was in the forefront of man's knowledge about nicotine, and both lectures and question and answer sessions were stimulating and enlightening. This publication contains the manuscripts presented at the Symposium, along with an Overview prepared by selected individuals. Lecture and poster session topics are delineated more fully in the Overview. This volume is expected to serve as a definitive reference on nicotine as it relates to the tobacco habit. Symposium sessions were arranged under four headings: (1) behavioral effects of nicotine and nicotine~ependence in humans and animals, (2) neurohumoral regulation of neuroendocrine and cardiovascular function by nicotine, (3) neuropharmacology of nicotine, and (4) neurochemistry. This was the first assembly of this magnitude of scientists who had devoted years of research to nicotine and its effects. Indeed, it was a pleasure to have sponsored this important event. Dr. Lay ten Davis, Director Tobacco and Health Research Institute Cooper and Alumni Drives Lexington, KY 40546-0236 v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Editors of this volume express sincere appreciation to all of the contributors.

Book Synopsis Effects of Nicotine on Biological Systems by : Adlkofer
Download or read book Effects of Nicotine on Biological Systems written by Adlkofer and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of its scientific activities, the German Research Council on Smoking and Health regularly provides opportunities for scientists to discuss progress in the field of nicotine research. In this context, the Research Council sponsored a Satellite Symposium in Hamburg, June 28-30, 1990 entitled "Effects of Nicotine on Biological Systems". This meeting was held in conjunction with the XIth International Congress of Pharmacology in Amsterdam and follows the first Satellite Symposium on Nicotine which was convened in Brisbane, Australia in 1987. The aim of these conferences has been to discuss state of the art research on the pharmacology and toxicology of nicotine and its metabolites and to integrate this information to help define nicotinic actions on the central and peripheral nervous system as well as to evaluate health or behavioral effects associated with use of this alkaloid. Furthermore, at this conference, potential therapeutic benefits of nicotine for certain disease states were discussed. Smoking and the health effects of smoking were dealt with only as far as they could not be separated from the effects of nicotine. This volume contains the lectures presented at the symposium and illustrates that knowledge of nicotine has advanced considerably in recent years with regard to mechanisms of its actions. Despite such progress however, it is apparent that a' large number of questions remain unanswered, especially in the light of new insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms which can be affected by nicotine.
Book Synopsis Smoking, Health and Personality by : Hans Eysenck
Download or read book Smoking, Health and Personality written by Hans Eysenck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Report on Smoking and Health published by the Royal College of Physicians in England in 1965 warned of a connection between lung -cancer and smoking. The findings were widely publicized, and were accepted by practically every-one-indeed, they persist today. As Hans J. Eysenck shows in his classic study Smoking, Health, and Personality, the results were by no means immune to challenge. Not only were the experimental and statistical methods employed vulnerable to criticism, but the results were open to more than one interpretation.In this new edition, Stuart Brody reviews Eysenck's achievement. Eysenck critically reviewed the literature, presented longitudinal studies showing that psychological characteristics are far more potent predictors of heart disease and cancer than smoking behavior, and demonstrated that psychological treatment can halve death rates. Eysenck also spoke the unspeakable, iconoclastically attacking the cherished attribution of millions of deaths to smoking. He examined the interaction of smoking with personality and constitutional factors, and the connection between these factors and the development of cancer. Eysenck saw the cause-and-effect relation between cancer and smoking as oversimplification. He also makes a number of practical suggestions for the kind of social action that could be taken to decrease the incidence of lung cancer. For his part, Brody notes that massive campaigns which exhort people to eschew tobacco or cholesterol have had little or no demonstrable health benefits.This original and stimulating volume is written with great clarity and is easily understood by the layman. It is an incisive account of one of the most important social problems in this country today, and a challenge to orthodoxy in the medical world. As such, this volume offers much for both sides of the anti-smoking lobby, as well as those in the fields of psychology, political science, and sociology. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Institutes of Health Publication 09-6366, Phenotypes and Endophenotypes: Foundations for Genetic Studies of Nicotine Use and Dependence, NCI Tobacco Control Monograph 20, (the twentieth volume of the Tobacco Control Monograph series of the National Cancer Institute) reviews the scientific foundation for genetic studies of nicotine use and dependence. The authors and editors perform an admirable job synthesizing the expanding literature in the field and developing a scientific blueprint for the integration of genetic approaches into transdisciplinary studies of nicotine dependence. This seminal work should be examined in the context of global public health action on tobacco prevention and control as well as advances in genomics and related technologies. It is important to ask how genetic studies of nicotine use and dependence can contribute to the overall public health effort in tobacco control and prevention. For, despite public health efforts, an estimated 45 million people in the United States still smoke. Globally, one billion individuals smoke tobacco on a regular basis, and millions of individuals die yearly from illnesses related to tobacco. A “one size fits all” public health approach has not been fully successful. All available tools will be needed to meet the demand for effective and sustainable tobacco control, including pharmacogenetic-informed treatments and social policy interventions for smoking cessation. Clearly, tobacco use in a population is the product of the interaction of agent, genetic, and environmental factors. Government policies are important modifiable environmental influences that can alter how tobacco products are designed and marketed and how consumers respond. Understanding individual variation in responses to tobacco can help our approach to different programs, policies, and treatments for nicotine dependence. Synergy occurs when tobacco control and prevention interventions directed at agent, host, and environmental factors are implemented together. However, no studies have adequately addressed simultaneously genetic variation, quantitative measures of behavioral, social and cultural variation, and the interaction among these sources of variation. This gap reflects the disciplinary silos that were not uncommon in the 20th century scientific enterprise.~
Book Synopsis The Physical Effects of Smoking by : George Fisher
Download or read book The Physical Effects of Smoking written by George Fisher and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer gave up smoking tobacco about a year ago because of the bad effects the habit seemed to have on his heart and eyes. He has since read a good deal on the subject, pro and con, but found the existing literature quite unsatisfactory. There is a tremendous need of scientifically ascertained facts. Scarcely any definite experimental data are available. We hail with all the more pleasure a volume entitled "The Physical Effects of Smoking. Preliminary Experimental Studies," By George J. Fisher, M.D., and Elmer Berry, B.S. (New York: Association Press; 1917), which gives the result of four experiments made under strictly scientific conditions and in a careful and unbiased spirit. Two of these experiments were conducted by moderate smokers-one of whom has since given up the habit because of the results secured-and two by non-smokers. All of them were normal, healthy, athletic fellows, between the ages of 21 and 25, who for the most part expected no results, were as far as possible kept in ignorance of the progress of the experiment, and were decidedly surprised at its final results. These results are arranged in chronological order, with full tabulated records, and a final summary. The conclusions may be briefly stated as follows: Smoking raises the heart rate and blood pressure, markedly delays the return of the heart rate to normal after exercise, and impairs the neuro-muscular control as indicated by delicate finger exercises and gross muscular co-ordinations. There is no escape from the firm, steady, scientific insistence of the figures. If they are accurate, our young men should be made aware of the truth. As the editors say in their General Summary (p. 175), "if such results are produced on healthy vigorous young men in prime condition by moderate smoking, what is the effect of the widespread use of tobacco upon the manhood of our land? The significance of these results should not be lightly tossed aside. An increased heart rate of only 5 beats per minute means that a man's heart does 2074 kilogram-meters (approximately 15,000 foot pounds) more work per day. In fifty years this means 272,471,000 foot pounds of unnecessary work. Does that mean, other things being equal, five years less of life? Does it mean less margin of safety, less recuperative power, more danger in case of extreme need, in the crises of disease or accident? But if the blood pressure is also raised, even these figures do not represent the whole truth, for the unnecessary work of the heart is even greater. What connection is there between this increasing pressure and arteriosclerosis? Can smoking be one of the great causes of this increasing malady among our middle-aged business men?" These questions should be definitely studied at the earliest possible opportunity, together with such others as: Is it true, as these experiments indicate, that the body does not become habituated or immune to the harmful effects of tobacco ? What are the actual comparative effects of smoking on boys, young men, and middle-aged men? What are the relative effects of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes? Does smoking have any definite effect upon the mental and psychic processes? The work done by Dr. Fisher and Mr. Berry should be repeated by other observers and the results checked. In dealing with such a deep-rooted human habit as smoking, facts are needed, not theories, sentiments, or prejudices. If smoking is harmful, as these studies indicate it to be, we cannot establish the fact soon enough. -The Fortnightly Review, Volume 25 [1918]
