Nicotine Psychopharmacology

Nicotine Psychopharmacology

The fact that tobacco ingestion can affect how people feel and think has been known for millennia, placing the plant among those used spiritually, honori?cally, and habitually . However, the conclusion that nicotine - counted for many of these psychopharmacological effects did not emerge until the nineteenth century . This was elegantly described by Lewin in 1931 as follows: The decisive factor in the effects of tobacco, desired or undesired, is nicotine. . . . The use of nicotine as a pharmacological probe to und- stand physiological functioning at the dawn of the twentieth century was a landmark in the birth of modern neuropharmacology , and led the pioneering researcher John Langley to conclude that there must exist some - ceptive substance to explain the diverse actions of various substances, including nicotine, when applied to muscle tissue . Research on tobacco and nicotine progressed throughout the twentieth century, but much of this was from a general pharmacological and toxicological rather than a psychopharmacological perspective . There was some attention to the effects related to addiction, such as euphoria , tolerance , and withdrawal , but outside of research supported by the tobacco industry, addiction and psychopharmacology were not major foci for research ."
