Q

what is the physiology of smoking addiction

i.e. how does nicotine cause addiction

A
  • Nicotine has the highest binding affinity for alpha 4 beta 2 nicotinic receptors. These receptors are mediators of addiction. This occurs in the VTA of the midbrain.
  • Inhaled nicotine reaches these receptors in 7-10 seconds. This then triggers release of dopamine into the nucleus accumbens
  • Regular smoking upregulates the a4b2 receptors by 3-4 times. These receptors are long term.
  • Smoking is a chronic relapsing organic brain disease; not a lifestyle choice.
