Can Nicotine gum be used to enhance short term cognitive abilities? I’m a non-smoker (& a college student).
Can Nicotine gum be used to enhance short term cognitive abilities? I’m a non-smoker (& a college student). I know that many of my colleagues use cigs to focus before exams/study and what not. I was curious whether nicotine replacement therapy (specially nicotine gum) would have the same therapeutic effect without all the carcinogens? In regards to short term memory and CNS stimulation. (Basically is Nicotine gum a viable study aid for a non smoker).
Good point but I was looking at it from a strictly mechanism of action point of view. For example the Pharmacodynamics of nicotine indicate that it directly impacts levels of epinephrine. The substance also appears to increase dopamine directly as well as acting much like a MAOI. The metabolite cotinine also seems to have stimulant like properties. Hence my curiosity on the subject.
Nicotine doesn’t help them focus, it isn’t a wonder drug. It helps them focus because they’re addicted and can’t focus without nicotine.
Edit: Post hoc ergo propter hoc – “after this because of this” – is not good logic.
