Why is nicotine addictive? When you use tobacco products, nicotine is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. Within 10 seconds of entering your body, the nicotine reaches your brain. It causes the brain to release adrenaline, creating a buzz of pleasure and energy. The buzz fades quickly though, and leaves you feeling tired, a little down, and wanting the buzz again. This feeling is what makes you light up the next cigarette.
The short answer is NICOTINE--the chemical that causes you to become addicted to cigarettes. Nicotine affects your brain, changes your mood, and causes you to want more and more. When you smoke, your body immediately responds to the nicotine, but this high only lasts about 10 seconds!!Because it is so addictive, nicotine also causes unpleasant withdrawal side effects when you try to quit.HOWEVER, most of these symptoms will not last long and they should all be gone within a few weeks.hen you smoke, your body immediately responds to the nicotine, but this high only lasts about 10 seconds!!
