Cytisine is an agonist of nicotinic receptors; in particular, it binds strongly with 42 nicotinic receptors. Cytisine has been used to treat tobacco dependence for 40 years in Eastern Europe. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the effect of cytisine on smoking cessation. . . .
Research conducted during the past 40 years suggests that cytisine is effective for smoking cessation. Thus, an apparently effective smoking cessation drug that has been used for decades in Germany and Eastern European countries remained unnoticed in other countries. Most of the articles reviewed herein were never cited in the English-language literature. Despite the existence of 3 placebo-controlled trials, recent reviews of the efficacy of smoking cessation drugs omitted cytisine2, 14-15 and little research on cytisine has been conducted in recent years. |

Intro:
ALMOST one in five Australian women smoke during pregnancy despite the risks it poses for both mothers and their babies.
A report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) found that 17.3 per cent of women who gave birth in 2003 smoked during pregnancy.
The figure was vastly higher in teenage mothers than women giving birth later in life.
"Smoking during pregnancy was most prevalent in teenage mothers, 42 per cent, compared to 10.9 per cent of mothers aged 35 years and older," said Elizabeth Sullivan, from AIHW"s national perinatal statistics unit. . . .
More than 52 per cent of Aboriginal women had smoked at some stage during their pregnancy, the report said. |
