Dissociable effect of acute varenicline on tonic versus cue-provoked craving in non-treatment-motivated heavy smokers
Sun, 05 May 2013 11:11:37 +0100 | Drug and Alcohol Dependence
Conclusions: Acute varenicline selectively attenuates tonic but not cue-provoked craving. This dissociation provides insight into the specific psychological processes that might mediate the effectiveness of varenicline, and highlights cue-provoked craving as a discrete target for advancing smoking cessation pharmacotherapy.

An increased rate of smoking among subjects with schizophrenia contributes to multiple negative health effects including higher rates of coronary heart disease, hypertension, respiratory disease and lung cancer than the general population (). Studies of nicotine cessation or reduction in schizophrenia have focused on a limited armamentarium of pharmacologic agents showing modest effects.
