The tobacco plant was long used by Native Americans before the arrival of Europeans. The word tobacco derives from tabacum, the Indian name for the pipe they used to smoke it. Nicotine, the principle psychoactive chemical in tobacco, was named after Jean Nicot de Villemain, a French diplomat who advocated its use in Europe in the late 1500s (Rudgley 1999). It is less commonly known that tobacco grew wildly in the interior of Australia, and was used by inhabitants there before Europeans arrived. 

The major cost factors of an evaporation pond include pond liners, land preparation, excavation and clearing, site surveying, bank construction, pumps, control systems, disposal of precipitated solids, maintenance and geotechnical investigation of the site (Singh and Christen 2000). Of these, pond liners typically represent the greatest cost (Nicot et al. 2009).

This enzyme [EC 2.4.2.11 ] catalyzes the reaction of nicot-inate with 5-phospho-a-D-ribose 1-diphosphate to produce nicotinate D-ribonucleotide and pyrophosphate. 

Several in vivo experiments in animals and humans suggest the existence of potentiators of histamine toxicity in spoiled fish. Parrot and Nicot (24) demonstrated that putrescine enhanced the lethality of orally administered histamine in guinea pigs. 

Another possible mechanism of potentiator action, the barrier disruption hypothesis, has received considerable attention. This theory of potentiator action, first proposed by Parrot and Nicot (24), suggests that the potentiators may interfere with the protective actions of intestinal mucin. Mucin is known to bind histamine in vitro (53), and Parrot and Nicot ( ) suggested that this binding was essential to prevent passage of histamine across the intestinal wall. Potentiators such as putrescine and cadaverine...

Tobacco is a member of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family and its scientific name is Nicotiana tabacum. The name nicotine comes from Nicotiana after the French ambassador Jean Nicot (1530—1600). Nicot became familiar with tobacco when he was serving as ambassador to Portugal. Impressed with its use as a medicinal herb, Nicot sent seeds and cuttings back to the French Queen Catherine de Medici (1519—1589) in 1560, noting its therapeutic properties. Tobacco was called nicotiana and this was used for the scientific name.

The French ambassador to Portugal, Jean Nicot, from whose name came the word nicotine, considered tobacco a cure for headaches and gout. Nicholas Monardes, a Spanish doctor, listed 36 illnesses that tobacco treated. Today, tobacco is linked to various forms of cancer.

Nicot et al., 1995b), and there is very little overlap between the distribution of mRNAs for TH and neurotensin receptors in the DM-ARC or adjacent periventricular nucleus (Nicot et al., 1995b). Collectively, these results suggest that the stimulatory actions of neurotensin on TIDA neurons is not due to a direct action per se, but rather to activation of excitatory interneurons within the ARC.
