Adolescents are prone to periods of aggression before parts of the brain that control impulse and behavior finish forming. If doctors could predict who's most at risk of getting hooked after their first few cigarettes, perhaps they could better target those people with smoking prevention programs.

Previous surveys had suggested that Type A personalities are more likely to be big smokers, especially when nervous or irritated. Also, some scientists have put smokers into brain scanners while infusing them with nicotine, to see what brain areas. the drug targets. Potkin's study took the crucial step of adding nonsmokers to the mix. And he asked 86 people to do various tests while a PET scanner monitored their brain activity before and after receiving low- or high-dose nicotine patches or a sham patch.

"No one has looked at nicotine in this way," says Kenneth Perkins, a psychiatry professor at the University of Pittsburgh who also is studying predictive traits of smoking. The PET scans showed no brain effects of nicotine on people whose personalities were more relaxed and cheerful. In people rated as having more hostile tendencies nicotine triggered dramatic changes in activity in brain regions important for controlling emotion and social response. For some people, nicotine increased energy metabolism, for others, it decreased, depending on dose. Despite the common assumption that nicotine can be calming, actually "nicotine made them even more aggressive," Potkin says.

"They may smoke to feel better, but they don't feel better." That's a curious finding, Perkins says, but it may be because the study used different doses. Low nicotine doses sometimes stimulate brain activity while high doses suppress other activity. The next step: Seeing how the brain reacts when people smoke instead of having carefully controlled doses of nicotine administered via a patch. For that study, Potkin can't induce nonsmokers to start smoking, so he'll compare regular smokers to people who puff a few cigarettes every so often. Dean campaign chairman out WAUSAU, Wis.
