When you smoke, a spike of nicotine gets to your brain and reacts with a special area of the brain, where there are receptors that respond to nicotine. When these receptors are stimulated by nicotine from your smoking, they release chemicals that give you a feeling of pleasure. When you first started smoking, your brain only had a few receptors that reacted to nicotine. However, as you continued to smoke over the years, your brain has developed more and more receptors. Millions of them. Now, these receptors are used to that spike of nicotine.
Nicotine can cause many health problems. It can temporarily raise blood pressure and heart rate because it causes blood vessels to narrow. Nicotine can also make the blood more likely to clot and block an artery, and it can cause damage to the lungs and make breathing difficult. Nicotine in the body is first processed by the liver and then excreted by the kidneys. Over time nicotine can have negative effects on the kidneys.
