there is some activity of metabolites at some nicotinic receptors, but i really doubt that has something to do with 'cholinergic' side effects like dry mouth, heart rate, problems urinating, etc. cholinergic effects are usually more related to muscarinic receptors.

Thats going to be true for any drug that increases sympathetic tone, because of how the two systems balance. The importance of knowing which is which is that pseudoanticholinergic are unavoidable (without doing something like a cholinergic drug too) whereas anticholinergic are just the result of choosing a dirty drug.
