The few extant reports examining the relationship between diurnal patterns of pre-cessation smoking and cessation nicotine replacement use suggest that this relationship may be important in preventing smoking relapse. The current study evaluated three interventions to increase nicotine gum use: stan

β¦ Synopsis
Experiments utilizing the self-administration procedure have yielded varied rates of responding when using nicotine as the reinforcer. A number of factors are reviewed that appear to determine behavioral performance in self-administration procedures. Species differences ranging from rats to human, genotypic differences, schedules of reinforcement, food deprivation, routes of administration, rates of nicotine infusion, and previous drug history are all critical determinants of nicotine self-administration. Further characterization of these factors will be necessary in order to establish a "threshold dose" of nicotine as a means of regulating nicotine addiction.
