    Nicotine addiction is caused by the addictive chemical nicotine found in tobacco products like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. When nicotine is inhaled or absorbed through the mouth, it quickly enters the bloodstream and provides a stimulating "buzz" that regular users develop a dependence on. With continued use over time, the brain perceives nicotine not as a temporary stimulus but as a basic need, making quitting very difficult due to withdrawal symptoms. Treatment options include quitting cold turkey, nicotine replacement therapies like gum or patches, and in some cases medication to help combat nicotine cravings and dependence.

    Nicotine Addiction

    What is
    it?
     Nicotine is an addictive
    toxic colorless or yellowish
    oily liquid that is a primary
    ingredient of tobacco. It
    acts as a small stimulant in
    small doses, but in larger
    doses blocks the action of
    autonomic nerve and
    skeletal muscle cells.
    Description
     Nicotine is a substance that has been described
    from those who use it as a “buzz, ease, or chill”
    it comes in many varieties of uses but the
    general use is still the same.
      The buzz that nicotine provided, depending on
    the dosage, is a tingling feeling that runs
    through your body whether its your head, face,
    legs, or arms that is described as calming by its
    users
      that feeling is what gets users so addicted to it.
    Addiction
    The addiction starts when people are exposed to
    these products for some amount of time. It is an
    incredibly addictive chemical that after you inhale
    into your lungs or put it in your mouth once it’s
    there, it crosses over into user's bloodstream through
    millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. And after
    using it for a good amount of time the mind believes
    it to be more of a desire and need rather than a
    temporary stimulus.
    Types of products
     Chewing Tobacco
     Cigarettes
     Cigars
     E-cigarettes (vape)
     Pouches
     Gum
    Symptoms of Nicotine
    Addiction 
     Addiction is obvious when it becomes easier for one to
    consume nicotine even when sick, or cold outside, and in a
    public place that does not allow for it
     If withdrawal symptoms appear when nicotine use stops, that is
    also a sign of addiction

    addicted to tobacco products in the United States

    Treatment for Nicotine

    symptoms will go away after two weeks
     Smoking cessation products are sold in pharmacies such as nicotine gum,
    patches ,and spray
     These products are much better for general health than all tobacco products
     It is also believed that these cessation products work on non-smoking
    nicotine addicts as well because it is the best way to reduce nicotine
    dependence
