متن کاملExploring brief measures of nicotine dependence for epidemiological surveys.
A score > or = 6 in the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), identifying high nicotine dependence, was compared with three briefer classifications: (1) Item 4: heavy smoking (more than 30 cigarettes per day); (2) Item 1: high early smoking (smoking within 30 min of waking up); and (3) a score > or = 4 by combining Items 1 and 4. The FTND scores from 1642 smokers from five samples in ...

متن کاملEffects of agmatine on nicotine-evoked behavioral responses in rats.
Agmatine [2-(4-aminobutyl)guanidine], is a novel endogenous ligand at alpha2-adrenoceptors, imidazoline and N-methyl-D-asparate receptors, as well as a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. The present study tested whether agmatine (5-40 mg/kg, sc) modulated the locomotor, sensitizing, and discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine in male Wistar rats. Agmatine (10-40 mg/kg) affected neither the ba...
متن کاملSusceptibility to nicotine dependence: the Development and Assessment of Nicotine Dependence in Youth 2 study.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to identify characteristics that predict progression from the first inhalation of a cigarette to dependence. We studied a cohort of 1246 public school 6th-graders in 6 Massachusetts communities (mean age at baseline: 12.2 years). METHODS We conducted a 4-year prospective study using 11 interviews. We assessed 45 risk factors and measured diminished auto...
