  • Nicotine is a nitrogen-containing chemical - an alkaloid, which is made by several types of plants, including the tobacco plant. Nicotine is also produced synthetically. Nicotiana tabacum, the type of nicotine found in tobacco plants, comes from the nightshade family. Red peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes are examples of the nightshade family.

  • Nicotine is a colorless liquid that smells like tobacco and turns brown when it is burned (2). It is the chemical in tobacco products that interacts with the brain and causes addiction. The use of tobacco products such as cigarettes, chew, or cigars allow for the nicotine to move quickly throughout the body and the brain. Nicotine can be absorbed through the mucosal linings and skin of the nose and mouth, or through inhalation. When inhaled, the nicotine is absorbed by the lungs and moved into the blood stream from which it reaches the brain in less than eight seconds (4).

  • The effects of nicotine on the human body are diverse. In high concentrations, through the ingestion of some pesticides or the consumption of tobacco products by children, nicotine can cause convulsions, vomiting and death within minutes due to paralysis. However, in smaller doses nicotine has much milder effects. Nicotine has desirable properties such as heightened awareness and increased short term memory. Other aspects of nicotine include heightened breathing, heart-rate, constriction of arteries and pleasure stimulus in the brain.

  • Researchers have made bold claims about cigarette smoking leading to depression. It has long been known that smokers have higher rates of depression than nonsmokers, but researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand investigated the link further, and say they have found a causal relationship.

      Subtopic: Can smoking cause depression? According to J. Collingwood, claims made about smoking leading to depression have been bold ones. Researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand have hard that it is common knowledge that smokers have a higher risk of depression than nonsmokers, but have found a casual relationship after investigating the link further. (pg. 1 of 1 paraphrase)
  • Again using nicotinized and denicotinized cigarettes, they found that smokers do feel better after a cigarette, but only when they haven’t smoked since the previous day. The improved mood after abstinence from smoking was a “robust” finding. However, cigarettes “only modestly” improved negative mood due to other sources of stress — in this case, a challenging computer task, preparing for a public speech, and watching negative mood slides.
