Authorities such as the  Surgeon General of the USA and the Royal College of Physicians in the  UK have declared that nicotine is as addictive as heroin and cocaine.  This book is a critique of the nicotine addiction hypothesis, based on  a critical review of the research literature that purports to prove  that nicotine is as addictive drug. The review is based on a  re-examination of more than 700 articles and books on this subject,  including animal and human experimental studies, effects of `nicotine  replacement therapies', and many other relevant sources. This review  concludes that on present evidence, there is every reason to reject  the generally accepted theory that nicotine has a major role in  cigarette smoking. A critical examination of the criteria for drug  addiction demonstrates that none of these criteria is met by nicotine,  and that it is much more likely that nicotine in fact limits rather  than facilitates smoking.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792372257\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b111440\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 244\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49471324553356,"sku":"9780792372257","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792372257.jpg?v=1777984294","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792372257","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
