Nicotine is an alkaloid chemical that is naturally present in nightshade plants such as tomato, potato, eggplant, and particularly tobacco. (It is in very low concentrations in the first three.) Nicotine dependance is quite strong making it very difficult for most users of tobacco products to quit. It has a long history as an insecticide. Some modern insecticides called neonicotinoids are derived from nicotine and have been is wide use for the last 5 plus years. Nicotine's use as a drug exposes the user to some dangerous health hazards such as cardiovascular damage, tumour promotion, inflammation, sleep abnormalities, ulcers, etc. Additionally, the delivery means, such as smoking cigarettes, chewing tobacco, or vaping) also exposes the user to other chemicals that are harmful in their own right. For instance, the tar and carbon monoxide and many other noxious chemicals in cigarette smoke are quite harmful to the body leading to many well known health problems. About half of all smokers end up dying of smoking related health issues. Smells good like a cigarette should? To me it smells like death.

It imitates neurotransmitters, so in effect your body feels lots of false nerve impulses that never really existed. This means you feel very awake and jittery as your Central Nervous System has been sped up so much. Nicotine is also very addicitve
