   Abstract:
   Nicotine administered by smoking and by transdermal patches has been shown to improve attention in dependent smokers, nondependent smokers, and nonsmokers significantly. Attentional improvements are also seen in patients with attention deficits including those with Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nicotine delivered via means such as nicotine skin patches and novel nicotinic agonists holds promise for providing therapeutic treatment for attentional deficits.
