Smokers believe smoking create feelings of, among others, sharpness and relaxation. They believe smoking enhances alertness and consentration, and thus, smokers take deep or quick puffs to either relax or stimulate their nerves.
However, even though most smokers will tell you that smoking is "relaxing", nicotine constricts the blood vessels and raises heart rate and blood pressure.
Nicotine is considered a drug because it effects the chemistry of the brain to produce certain psychological and mental effects. It calms one down, makes one feel more talkative, and allows people to more easily do dull tasks.
Everyone is different. Some say they feel awake (stimulant) and others feel relaxed (depressant). It also has to do with their phychological attachment to smoking. Overall, I would say it is a Stimulant.
Nicotine is a stimulant. However, it can also have a depressant effect, depending on the dose and the frequency of use.
A depressant is a drug that is capable of diminishing a specific property of a substance. Nicotine does this to you.
Drug, because it messes with your brain
Nicotine is a drug in itself. So anything containing nicotine is a drug.
it is a stimulant! do not use nicotine!
Tobacco is a plant which contains the drug nicotine. The FDA chooses not to regulate it as a drug, without denying that it is a drug, because to do so would require banning it and that is politically difficult.
if it is a nicotine drug test and the liquid for your ecig DOES contain nicotine, you will show positive for nicotine.
The drug that is in cigarettes is nicotine.
