The Role of the Gut Microbiome in Nicotine Withdrawal and Dependence
Our results indicate that under our experimental conditions fecal transplant can reduce the severity of nicotine withdrawal. This suggests that interactions along the gut-brain axis are important for the development of nicotine dependence and might help lower the risk of cancer and other serious health problems in humans.
