Molecular insights into the benefits of nicotine on memory and cognition (Review)
The findings reported in the studies included in the present review article indicate that nicotine can stimulate memory function. Therefore, although nicotine is similar to other psychoactive substances, in that it can induce dependence or abuse, it also has certain beneficial effects, including enhancing cognitive function in healthy individuals and restoring memory function in patients with diseases, such as AD, PD and hypothyroidism.
E-Cigarettes Composition: Nicotine Concentration and Nicotine Salts
When considering regulations aimed at reducing the burden of smoking, we strongly urge policymakers to consider the utility of harm reduction and reduced-risk products alongside prevention measures. It is imperative that access to e-cigarettes and vapor products remains at a level that encourages, rather than discourages, people to choose these less harmful products over combustible cigarettes. Doing so will reduce the incidence and cost of tobacco-related disease. Research indicates that higher nicotine concentrations help smokers make the initial switch from combustible cigarettes. They can achieve nicotine delivery similar to combustible cigarettes, and the concentration can be decreased gradually based on the user’s needs and desires. It has been shown that nicotine concentrations used after complete switching from combustible cigarettes decreased compared to what was used at initiation or complete transition.
