I thought this was common knowledge about nicotine (from chew as well as smoke).

About this nicotine receptor controlling satiety, dubbed α3β4, I think not. Dopamine pathways were the consensus, IMHO.

True, the microbiology has zeroed in on a mechanism. Perhaps this could give rise to a new kind of diet pill that doesn’t carry the other ill effects of nicotine.

I meant it was common knowledge that nicotine cut appetite.
