Scott PY - 2020 T2 - McGraw Hill’s NAPLEX® Review Guide, 4e AB - Nicotine dependence, also called tobacco dependence, is an addiction to tobacco products caused by the drug nicotine. Cigarette smoking is the most prevalent type of tobacco use; additional options include smokeless products (chew and snuff) and other smoke or vaporized products (pipes, cigars, bidis, hookah pipes, electronic cigarettes, vaping devices). Cigarette smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD; stroke, sudden death, heart attack), respiratory diseases (emphysema, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), lung cancer, and other cancers. Smokeless tobacco products increase the risk of oral and neck cancers. Additionally, using vaporized nicotine products has been associated with an accelerated development of lung cancers. Screening with computed tomography (CT) scan is indicated for current and former smokers (<15 years since quit date) between the ages of 55 and 80 years with greater than a 30-pack year history.
