Nicotine is simply a naturally occurring chemical found in certain plants. Of course, there are synthetic versions now, but this is where it was found and isolated. Nicotine is known widely as the ingredient in tobacco that causes the physiological addiction to tobacco products like cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco.

Native tribes across both North and South America used tobacco, and Europeans quickly became hooked on it.

Many reports also show that tobacco, and thus nicotine, was…

This dual nature is exactly why nicotine feels energizing to some people and calming to others. To understand how this substance works, you need to look deeper into the brain chemistry, the nervous system, and how nicotine interacts with receptors that trigger both stimulation and reward. This article breaks down the science of nicotine as a stimulant, why it feels relaxing…

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), smoking-related diseases have killed 10 times more Americans than the combined toll in all the wars the country has fought. And yet smoking continues to be an important part of the military culture. According to the CDC, smoking is more common among military personnel than civilians. Cigarettes are often handed out as awards. They are discounted at military stores. Seeing their superiors smoke is perceived as validation by many young recruits who then pick up the habit.
