Does anybody know if there has been studies done on the medium to long term effects of nicotine cessation in relation to a persons body becoming accustomed to and relying upon nicotine, perhaps for many decades, and then having this stopped. Point of reference, a dear relative of mine was on a whole bunch of different prescribed tablets for a long time. Her doctor retired and a younger fellow took over, decided that these medications weren't necessary and stopped them. Unfortunately this (subjectively) resulted in her passing away a short time later.
I am curious because I am sure that if nicotine cessation did have after effects (Alzheimers for instance) I am sure the information would be hidden away in that special hidey hole by the anti smoking brigade etc. especially if it did not become apparent for some years.
