Smoking cessation, with or without nicotine substitutes, may alter response to concomitant medication in ex-smokers. Smoking may affect alcohol, benzodiazepines, beta-adrenergic blockers, caffeine, clozapine, fluvoxamine, olanzapine, tacrine, theophylline, clorazepate, lidocaine (oral), estradiol, flecanide, imipramine, heparin, insulin, mexiletine, opioids, propranolol, catecholamines, and cortisol. 

Classes I, III, and IV all involve transmembrane ion channels Classes I and III involve Na+ channels. Class I compounds are designed to block cardiac Na channels in a voltage-dependent manner, similar to local anesthetics. Not surprisingly, many of these Class I agents are either local anesthetics or are structurally based on local anesthetics. Class I compounds include procainamide (7.15), disopyramide (7.16), amiodarone (7.17), lido-caine (7.5), tocainide (7.18), mexiletine (7.19), and flecainide (7.20). The majority of these compounds possess two or three of the fundamental structural building blocks found within local anesthetics. Propranolol (7.21) is the prototypic Class II agent. Class III compounds include molecules that block outward K channels, such as sotalol (7.22) and dofetilide (7.23), and molecules that enhance an inward Na current, such as... 

These principles are important in understanding additive drug combinations (e.g., quinidine and mexiletine), antagonistic combinations (e.g., flecainide and lidocaine), and potential antidotes to excess sodium channel blockade (e.g., sodium bicarbonate or propranolol). They also explain a number of clinical observations, such as why lidocaine-like drugs are relatively ineffective for supraventricular tachycardia. The type Ib drugs are fast on/off, inactivated sodium blockers atrial cells, however, have a very brief inactivated phase relative to ventricular tissue.
