Benzazepines, Bupropion, Nicotinic Agonists, Quinoxalines, Smoking Cessation, Tobacco Use DisorderAbstract
Due to its impact on mortality, tobacco is currently the most
powerful weapon of mass destruction on our planet. Tobacco
smoking approach is critical to a primary or secondary prevention of related pathologies. There are currently three drugs
considered to be first-line smoking cessation therapy (nicotine, bupropion and varenicline) with known benefits against
which we should evaluate the potential risks of using it in
these patients.
