Evidence suggests that nicotine, which acts at neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, is one of the active components in tobacco smoke responsible for tobacco addiction. Intravenous drug self-administration in rodents is a useful procedure for predicting the abuse liability of drugs in humans…

Animal models that help elucidate the var…
