*"Nicotine has been associated with positive effects on cognition and inflammation, which may benefit individuals with neurological and immune system disorders. As a stimulant, nicotine can bind to the acetylcholine receptors on neurons to promote the release of dopamine and alleviate various neurological diseases. Anti-inflammatory effects against some diseases are associated with the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Nicotine reduces the release of various inflammatory cytokines by binding to the macrophage surface receptors." | |||
*"Nicotine can extensively improve cognition, which has long attracted the interest of researchers. This section introduces the therapeutic effects of nicotine on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and major depressive disorder (MDD)." | |||
*"Inflammation involves multiple genes and signaling pathways. In addition, it promotes the occurrence and development of various diseases to varying degrees. Nicotine plays an active role in various immune disorders because of its broad anti-inflammatory properties. This section describes the therapeutic effects of nicotine in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), OA, sepsis, endotoxemia, ulcerative colitis (UC), and myocarditis." | |||

*In Norway, current snus users differ from current smokers by having a higher socio-economic status and no detectable association with anxiety and depression. This suggests that the relationship between tobacco use and anxiety and depression is associated with the administration method. | *In Norway, current snus users differ from current smokers by having a higher socio-economic status and no detectable association with anxiety and depression.
