Tobacco is a substance that is derived by processing certain plants, and nicotine is one of the chemicals that is found in this substance. Nicotine, along with other harmful chemicals found in tobacco, is what makes it so addictive.

Tobacco has many different chemicals within it. Some of these chemicals, like nicotine, give it its addictive qualities. Nicotine is a highly potent stimulant, which is a neurochemical that results in the addictive effect of tobacco. When a person consumes or smokes tobacco, it makes its way into the brain. A neurotransmitter called dopamine is released – which is often called the ‘happy hormone’. As you continue using tobacco, the body starts craving this dopamine release which results in addiction.
