Sensitization-dependent nicotine place preference in the adult zebrafish
2019, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :There is a well-defined sequence of drug abuse in which consumption of tobacco and alcohol precedes the use of other drugs (Levine et al., 2011; Yamaguchi and Kandel, 1984). In this regard, it has been demonstrated that cigarette smoking positively correlates with the use of cocaine among college students (Schorling et al., 1994). Moreover, cocaine abusers frequently have elevated urinary levels of the nicotine metabolite cotinine (Roll et al., 1997).
Nicotine decreases ethanol-induced dopamine signaling and increases self-administration via stress hormones
2013, NeuronCitation Excerpt :Tobacco (nicotine) and alcohol are the two most abused and costly drugs to society. Epidemiological studies consistently find a positive correlation between nicotine and alcohol use, with alcoholism approximately ten times more prevalent in smokers than in nonsmokers (DiFranza and Guerrera, 1990; Harrison et al., 2008; McKee et al., 2007; Schorling et al., 1994; Weitzman and Chen, 2005). Several studies also show that nicotine exposure increases alcohol self-administration (Barrett et al., 2006; Lê et al., 2003; Smith et al., 1999), and smoking, particularly at an early age, is a significant risk factor for subsequent alcohol abuse (Chen et al., 2002; Grant, 1998; Morgen et al., 2008; Sher et al., 1996; Torabi et al., 1993).
Effects of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists on cognition in rhesus monkeys with a chronic cocaine self-administration history
2013, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Nicotine, a high-efficacy agonist that nonselectively binds at all nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes indirectly stimulates dopamine release (e.g. Rollema et al., 2007, 2009) and has shown cognitive-enhancing effects on measures of attention and memory in rodent, monkey and human studies (see Rezvani and Levin, 2001 for review). However, the high abuse liability of nicotine may preclude its use clinically as a cognitive enhancer (e.g., Schorling et al., 1994; Roll et al., 1996). The two primary nAChR subtypes distributed within the mammalian CNS are α7 and α4β2* receptors and subtype-selective agonists at each subtype have produced cognitive enhancing effects in animal models (e.g., Hahn et al., 2003; Bitner et al., 2007; Howe et al., 2010; Castner et al., 2011) and may have lower abuse liability than nicotine.
Evidence-Based Smoking Cessation for College Students
2012, Nursing Clinics of North AmericaNon-daily smoking predicts hazardous drinking and alcohol use disorders in young adults in a longitudinal U.S. sample
2011, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Population studies have documented that 19% to 24% of current smokers use cigarettes on a non-daily basis, with 29% of young adults reporting this pattern of use (Harrison et al., 2008). Although the relationship between drinking and daily smoking is well characterized in young adults (Bobo and Husten, 2000; Schorling et al., 1994; Weitzman and Chen, 2005), few epidemiological investigations have examined associations between non-daily smoking and alcohol use. We recently explored these associations in young adults aged 18–25 (Harrison et al., 2008) using Wave 1 of the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC; Wave 1, 2001–2002; Grant et al., 2003a).
