The new guideline called Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence: 2008 Update was created by the leading national experts in tobacco cessation and sponsored by a consortium of non-profit organizations. Having reviewed thousands of research articles, the authors continue to recommend NRT (nicotine replacement) products such as nicotine gum, nicotine nasal spray, nicotine patch, etc. used to help smokers break their tobacco dependence.

Anti-obesity Drugs May Affect Neural Development in Children

Medical trials on mice show that new anti-obesity drugs may suppress neural development in children. The results of a recent research conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology were published in journal Neuron on May 8, 2008. The researchers conclude that drugs such as Acomplia (Rimonabant) that function by blocking cannabinoid receptors of the brain responsible for appetite also affect adaptive rewiring of the brain. Mark Bear, director of the Picower Institute and Professor of Neuroscience, suggests that such drugs should be given to children with caution.
