Abstract
The main reason for smoking tobacco is to obtain the effects of nicotine; an improved way of dealing with the pharmacological component of tobacco addiction will only come from advances in understanding both the behavioral mechanisms involved and the mode of action of nicotine in the CNS. This article reviews recent work which has been aimed at identifying underlying neuropharmacological mechanisms.
