• #1 Nicotine dependence – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_dependence

  Nicotine dependence is a state of substance dependence on nicotine. It is a chronic, relapsing disease characterized by a compulsive craving to use the drug despite social consequences, loss of control over drug intake, and the emergence of withdrawal symptoms. […] Nicotine dependence is a serious public health problem because it leads to continued tobacco use and the associated negative health effects. […] Evidence-based treatments including medications such as nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, varenicline, or cytisine, and behavioral counseling can double or triple a smoker’s chances of successfully quitting. […] There are treatments for nicotine dependence, although the majority of the evidence focuses on treatments for cigarette smokers rather than people who use other forms of tobacco.

  People who have a mental health disorder and/or substance use disorder want to quit smoking and want information on cessation services and resources. […] Counseling is critical to the success of tobacco dependence treatment. […] Both individual and group counseling can be effective to support cessation in patients who have a behavioral health disorder. […] Intensive behavioral therapy with longer and more frequent sessions is often necessary. […] Patients who have a behavioral health disorder are often highly dependent on nicotine. […] Most will need medication to manage withdrawal symptoms, which will likely be more severe than those in the general population. […] It is very important to customize pharmacotherapy for these patients. […] Physicians need to carefully monitor the dosage and effects of psychiatric medications during quit attempts by patients who have a behavioral health disorder. […] Treating tobacco dependence can be one of the most important activities a physician can perform for their patients.

• #8 Therapeutic advances in the treatment of nicotine addiction: present and future

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3513862/

  While the proportion of the adult population that smokes has declined steadily in several westernized societies, the rate of successful quit attempts is still low. This is because smokers develop nicotine dependence, a powerful addiction that may require multiple attempts and long-term treatment to achieve enduring abstinence. Currently available first-line agents for smoking cessation therapy include nicotine replacement therapy (available in several formulations, including transdermal patch, gum, nasal spray, inhaler, and lozenge), bupropion (an atypical antidepressant), and varenicline (a partial agonist of the 42 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that was recently developed and approved specifically for smoking cessation therapy). […] The pharmacologic effect of nicotine plays a crucial role in tobacco addiction and therefore pharmacotherapy is important to address this component of tobacco dependence in order to improve success rates.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/nicotine-dependence/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351590

  Your doctor may ask you questions or have you fill out a questionnaire to see how dependent you are on nicotine. Knowing your degree of dependence will help your doctor determine the right treatment plan for you. The more cigarettes you smoke each day and the sooner you smoke after awakening, the more dependent you are. […] You’re much more likely to be able to stop smoking if you use medications and counseling, which have both been proved effective, especially in combination. […] Any of these products can help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms making it more likely that you’ll stop smoking for good. Using more than one may help you get better results. […] Medications help you cope by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while behavioral treatments help you develop the skills you need to give up tobacco for good. The more time you spend with a counselor, the better your treatment results will be.

  Bupropion is a prescription medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as both an antidepressant (marketed as different formulations of Wellbutrin) and a smoking cessation medication (Zyban). Although the exact way bupropion helps with smoking cessation is unknown, it has been shown to reduce the urge to smoke and decrease nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Typically, bupropion is started one to two weeks before a target quit date. […] Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) reduces nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings by providing nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in tobacco products. By treating nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings, NRT can help people reduce the amount of a tobacco product they are using or help them stop using tobacco completely. […] There is evidence that one of the most effective treatments for tobacco use disorder is to combine a long-acting formulation of NRT, such as the patch, with a short-acting formulation, such as the gum, lozenge, inhaler, or nasal spray, for breakthrough withdrawal symptoms. NRT also can be combined with bupropion but there is limited evidence for combining NRT with varenicline (Chantix).

  Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) works by making it easier to abstain from tobacco by partially replacing the nicotine previously obtained from tobacco. All of the commercially available forms of NRT increase the chances of successful smoking cessation. Overall, NRT increases the quit rate by 50-70%, and the increase appears to be independent of any additional support provided. […] The medications bupropion and varenicline have demonstrated efficacy for smoking cessation. Bupropion acts by alleviating some of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Like NRT products, bupropion has been endorsed by the US Clinical Practice Guideline as a first-line therapy. Compared with placebo, bupropion approximately doubles smoking cessation rates, and it is equally effective for men and women. […] Combination treatment with varenicline and bupropion may be more effective than single-drug therapy for smoking cessation in those smokers motivated to quit. […] All patients who smoke should receive education regarding the health effects of smoking. Patients should be provided with a variety of options and a range of advice that will allow them to escape the harmful effects of tobacco use and the addiction to nicotine.

  Discussion highlights latest approaches, trends in nicotine dependence treatment. During CHEST 2024, experts reviewed the latest approaches and statistical trends in tobacco and nicotine cessation during the session, New Paradigms in Treating Nicotine Dependence. Nicotine dependence treatment primarily involves pharmacotherapy and counseling interactions or therapy, Dr. Hayes noted. I think it’s best delivered when it’s multidisciplinary, and, in most cases, a combination of both pharmacotherapy and counseling is the best option, he said. The combined therapy improves outcomes by about 2.5 times that of a single therapy. Dr. Chatterton outlined a variety of behavioral approaches to treating nicotine dependence, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy, and mindfulness meditation. Motivational interviewing has been shown to be more than five times more likely to result in abstinence from nicotine use after 12 months than dispensing anti-smoking advice to the patient, he reported. CBT also has been proven to significantly reduce smoking. The majority of behavioral-based nicotine cessation programs, including CBT, focus on avoidance of cues and substitute behaviors, but mindfulness meditation shifts the focus to acknowledging the craving for nicotine in a nonjudgemental way to make it less intimidating over time. Novel approaches to nicotine dependence therapy being studied include the use of psychedelics, new pharmacological agents, vaccines, and magnetic brain stimulation.

  Mark Twain hit on the essence of nicotine addiction when he said, „Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.” […] Addiction is now understood to be a chronic neurological disorder that, like other chronic diseases, responds to treatment. Ideally, management of nicotine addiction combines medications to suppress cravings with counseling to help patients reprogram their behavior, just like treatments for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes often combine medication with counseling for stress management or behavior change. […] The FDA has given varenicline (Chantix) an indication for smoking cessation.
