Genetic Basis of Tobacco Addiction: Implications for Cardiovascular Risk

2026-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Tobacco addiction is a complex process whose main component is the brain reward system, at the center of which lies nicotine-induced dopamine release. This mechanism is combined with behavioral and environmental factors that perpetuate the habit. Another key element of this addiction is genetic predisposition, which will be the focus of this review. We will describe how genetic studies—from early research in twins...
