Assignment:

Another potentially detrimental health effect related to smoking that has implications for the care of older adults is the potential for altering the effects of medications. Interactions can occur in people who smoke or use nicotine products (including smokeless tobacco) and in people who have recently quit smoking. Interactions can be due directly to the physiologic effects of nicotine or they may be caused by the hydrocarbons in tobacco smoke, which can affect the hepatic metabolism of some medications. Additional information and examples of drug-nicotine interactions are discussed.
