Nicotine dependence plays a critical role in addiction to tobacco products, and thus contributes to a variety of devastating tobacco-related diseases (SGR 2014). Annual costs associated with smoking in the US are estimated to be between $289 and $333 billion. Effective interventions for nicotine dependence, especially in smokers, are a critical barrier to the eradication of tobacco-related diseases. This overview highlights research presented at the Plenary Symposium of Behavior, Biology and Chemistry: Translational Research in Addiction Conference (BBC), hosted by the UT Health Science Center San Antonio, on March 9-10, 2013. The Plenary Symposium focused on tobacco addiction, and covered topics ranging from basic science to national policy. As in previous years, the meeting brought together globally-renowned scientists, graduate student recruits, and young scientists from underrepresented populations in Texas and other states with the goal of fostering interest in drug addiction research in young generations.
尼古丁依赖在烟草制品成瘾中起着关键作用，因此导致了各种毁灭性的烟草相关疾病（2014年《美国卫生总监报告》）。据估计，美国与吸烟相关的年度成本在2890亿美元至3330亿美元之间。针对尼古丁依赖的有效干预措施，尤其是针对吸烟者的干预措施，是根除烟草相关疾病的关键障碍。本综述重点介绍了2013年3月9日至10日由圣安东尼奥德克萨斯大学健康科学中心主办的行为、生物学与化学全会研讨会：成瘾转化研究会议（BBC）上发表的研究。全会研讨会聚焦于烟草成瘾，涵盖了从基础科学到国家政策等多个主题。与往年一样，此次会议汇聚了全球知名科学家、研究生新生以及来自德克萨斯州和其他州代表性不足群体的年轻科学家，目的是激发年轻一代对药物成瘾研究的兴趣。
