Effects of initial nicotine exposure on cognition and nicotine reinforcement among non-smoking young adults with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

These findings help to clarify mechanisms underlying ADHD/nicotine use comorbidity and underscore the importance of early prevention.Declaration of interest/Funding:This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health.
