Name two pharmacological approaches for treating tobacco addiction and explain the rationale behind these approaches.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Pharmacological approaches tend to address the withdrawal symptoms from tobacco cessation. Nicotine-replacment therapy uses a safe vehicle for nicotine delivery, with the intention of a user slowly reducing the dose of nicotine. Verenicline (Chantix) is a nicotinic receptor agonist approach, which uses the same concept as nicotine-replacement therapy. Some antidepressant drugs, such as bupropion, act to replace the enhancement of dopamine produced by nicotine administration.
