The field of nicotine psychopharmacology has rapidly expanded in recent years, driven by theoretical, pharmaceutical and tobacco-related interests. It was challenging to represent the many promising areas of research, from molecular to clinical to epidemiological, within a single volume. This book provides relatively focused reviews written by leading researchers on their areas of recent interest. Each article was reviewed by experts, producing a reference that will be useful to researchers, students, health professionals, and to the growing number of people involved in efforts to regulate tobacco product contents and designs nationally and internationally. INDICE: Preface.- Part I: Nicotine and Tobacco Consumption: Measurement and Trends.- Part II: Nicotine Pharmacology and Mechanisms of Action.- Part III:Nicotine Psychopharmacology.- Part IV: Nicotine and Tobacco Product Regulation.
