Nicotine is the substance that makes the tobacco user want more. When the cigarette is inhaled the nicotine makes an effect within 10 seconds. So the smoke in the mouth goes down to the lungs and up to the brain in 7-10 seconds. When it arrives to the brain the nicotine triggers a number of chemical reactions that create temporary feelings of pleasure. As soon as the cigarette is out the nicotine withdrawal starts and the smoker feels edgy and agitated. Research has shown that nicotine increases the level of dopamine in the brain, neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of pleasure and well-being.
