What is Nicotine • World’s most widely used drug • No therapeutic application • Very powerful poison • Can be + or neutral: Which one do you think has an easier time being absorbed by the body? Why? • Deadliest drug with an LD of about 60mg • Kills in minutes • If you could absorb all of the nicotine in just two cigars you would die
Factors affecting Nicotine Absorption • Number of and duration of puffs • Volume of smoke taken in • The length of the cigarette • The number of cigarettes smoked in a certain amount of time
Cigarettes • Contain an average of 0.5 to 2.0 mg of nicotine • 10% of which is inhaled and absorbed • Lungs absorb nicotine faster than IV • Reaches the brain in about 10 seconds • Crosses BBB in 90 seconds
Nicotine and its affect on the Nervous System • Classified as a Stimulant • Increases production of adrenaline and stimulates sympathetic nervous system • Interferes with action of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (Ach) • In small doses it acts as an agonist and in high doses as an antagonist another way to say this is it excites the Ach and then inhibits it
What does ACh do? • Excite Muscles • Controls Muscles in the lungs • Targets organs of the parasympathetic system
