title: Psychopharmacology of nicotine: implications for pharmacotherapy in psychiatry.
abstract: Cigarette smoking is inconsistent with good health. In psychiatric patients it may also impede recovery through direct CNS effects of nicotine and indirect kinetic effects of enzyme-inducing agents. Psychiatric health professionals should promote smoking cessation with patient education and use of transdermal nicotine coupled with behavioral support.
