Nicotine News

Researchers at the Ohio State University's Center for Tobacco Research are worried that Gen Z may become addicted to tobacco products as a result of using them.

According to the World Health Organization, susceptibility to e-cigarette use among young people is a major public health concern due to the adverse health effects of nicotine. 

The amount of nicotine in one cigarette inhibits women`s brains from producing estrogen. This may explain a variety of behavioural differences in smokers, including the reason why women have a higher resistance to quitting than males. The ECNP Congress in Vienna will mark the debut of this work.

The study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, found that exposing human airway cells to e-cigarette vapour containing nicotine in culture resulted in a decreased ability to move mucus or phlegm across the surface. This phenomenon is called "mucociliary dysfunction".

The researchers have tested their candidate drugs to make sure they do not disrupt other major enzymes that help the body metabolise other substances.

Nicotine is a stimulant that works by binding to receptors widely distributed throughout the brain.

Researchers find that the level of nicotine found in small cigar smoke is similar to or greater than cigarette smoke.

The researchers set up a 13-week experiment during which they administered nicotine-infused water to mice.

The research focuses on the relationship between behavior and health, particularly in disadvantaged populations, a group that is "overrepresented" among smokers, according to the study`s authors.

The fact is that addiction to nicotine not only harms your body, but also your personal, professional and social life.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), tobacco uses kill nearly six million people in a year.

The findings showed that the children`s hands hold high levels of nicotine even when parents are not smoking around them and sheds new light on dangers of third-hand smoke.

Children with impaired auditory brainstem function are likely to have learning difficulties and problems with language development.

A new study have found that nearly eighty-five per cent of tobacco addicts can quit the habit of consuming nicotine products just by doing yoga and meditation.

Researchers have crystallised and determined the 3D structure of a protein that could help them develop new treatments by understanding nicotine's molecular effects.

More than one million Indians reportedly die annually because of smoking, making it the fourth leading cause of death due to non-communicable diseases (NCD) in the country.

US researchers have identified a new biomarker which revealed that known and unknown exposure to second-hand smoke may lead to an increased risk of mortality in non-smokers.

 Nicotine -- when given independent of tobacco -- could help protect the brain as it ages and even ward off neuro-degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease, US researchers have said.

Health Minister UT Khader said that the decision has been taken on the recommendation of the committee on cancer prevention.

In an experiment conducted by scientists, self-consumption of nicotine by rats has resulted in weight loss.
