Nicotine-related disorders
Nicotine-Related Disorders
Nicotine Dependence and Withdrawal can develop with use of all forms of tobacco (cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipes, and cigars) and with prescription medications (nicotine gum and patch). The relative ability of these products to produce Dependence or to induce Withdrawal is associated with the rapidity characteristic of the route of administration (smoked over oral over transdermal) and the nicotine content of the product.
This section contains discussions specific to the Nicotine-Related Disorders. Texts and criteria sets have already been provided to define the generic aspects of Substance Dependence (p. 192) that apply across all substances. The application of these general criteria to Nicotine Dependence is provided below. Reflecting a paucity of clinically relevant data, nicotine intoxication and nicotine abuse are not included in DSM-IV. A specific text and criteria set for Nicotine Withdrawal are also provided below. Listed below are the Nicotine-Related Disorders.
