TL;DR
The first symptoms of nicotine dependence can appear within days to weeks of the onset of occasional use, often before the onset with respect to the duration and frequency of tobacco use.
Abstract
The first symptoms of nicotine dependence can appear within days to weeks of the onset of occasional use, often before the onset of daily smoking. The existence of three groups of individuals-rapid onset, slower onset, and resistant-distinguishable from one another by their susceptibility to nicotine dependence, is postulated.

Findings and theoretical implications of studies concerned with initiation, maintenance, and therapy of cigarette smoking in children and adults are reviewed, and a hypothesis is presented to account for the development of craving conditioned to internal and external cues.

689 Citations1996Naomi Breslau, Edward L. Peterson
Public policy to discourage early smoking, if it succeeds in delaying the initiation of smoking, might contribute to the reduction of smoking-related mortality and morbidity by increasing the potential for quitting.
Journal of NeurochemistryEvidence that Tobacco Smoking Increases the Density of (−)‐[<sup>3</sup>H]Nicotine Binding Sites in Human Brain
552 Citations1988Maureen E.M. Benwell, David J.K. Balfour +1 more
It is concluded that smoking evokes an increase in high‐affinity nicotine binding similar to that observed previously in animals treated chronically with nicotine and that the effect of smoking on these sites is probably caused by the nicotine present in the tobacco smoke.

Results indicate that even infrequent experimentation in adolescence significantly raises the risk for adult smoking and that regular (at least monthly) adolescent smoking raises the chance of adult smoking by a factor of 16 compared to nonsmoking adolescents.

287 Citations1993Naomi Breslau, Nancy Fenn +1 more
The findings suggest that, among persons who have ever smoked, there might be two distinct groups in whom the chances of developing dependence are considerably reduced, a group in which the progression to daily smoking might be markedly slower than in persons who initiated smoking when they were older.

The data indicate that [3H]ACh recognition sites on nicotinic receptors are subject to up‐ and down‐regulation, and that repeated administration of nicotine results in a signal for up-regulation, probably through protracted desensitization at the recognition site.

Changes in nicotine binding may explain some of the tolerance observed, but other explanations for tolerance must be sought as well.

238 Citations1990Jack E. Henningfield, Richard Clayton +1 more
It may be possible to use tobacco and nicotine as models for phenomena of interest to other substance use researchers, and biological phenomena such as the development of tolerance and physical dependence may be more readily studied with nicotine than with many other drugs.
PsychopharmacologyTobacco withdrawal symptoms: An experimental analysis
220 Citations1984Dorothy K. Hatsukami, John R. Hughes +2 more
Of the 37 measures of tobacco withdrawal employed in this study, nine showed significant changes following tobacco deprivation, and these changes include decreased heart rate and increased caloric intake, weight, craving for tobacco, confusion, depression-dejection, number of awakenings, duration of awakeningings, and increased poor concentrations as observed by others.

204 Citations1985Larry S. Friedman, Edward Lichtenstein +1 more
It was hypothesized that initial cigarette smoking is largely prompted by peers, and that these prompts and subsequent social reinforcement may account for smoking participation, and suggested that persistent experimenters were more primed to smoke than minimal experimenters.
NeuropharmacologyExposure to nicotine enhances the behavioral stimulant effect of nicotine and increases binding of [3H]acetylcholine to nicotinic receptors

Data imply that increased binding of [3H]acetylcholine to nicotinic sites and the enhanced behavioral effect of nicotine are functionally linked.

Considerable levels of nicotine dependence were present among adolescent smokers and use of mFTQ scores; withdrawal symptoms including nicotine craving; CES-D scores; and saliva cotinine levels may be helpful in designing cessation programs targeted to nicotine-dependent adolescents.
Preventive MedicineCognitive Susceptibility to Smoking and Initiation of Smoking during Childhood: A Longitudinal Study

Reducing children's susceptibility to smoking could strengthen efforts to prevent early onset of cigarette smoking, and was a significant predictor of whether they initiated smoking prior to adolescence.
