Cigarettes and chewing tobacco stimulate the user. According to information gathered from www.thetruth.com 's "Info-vault" the user thinks smoking is relaxing, although smoking releases the hormone epinephrine, which creates stress. Nicotine (Chemical compound C16H14N2) is an addictive central nervous system stimulant. When nicotine is taken into the lungs through the alveoli, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and sent to the brain in seconds. It causes the heart to beat rapidly, drawing in and pushing out more blood. It also makes the veins and arteries tighten, requiring the heart to work hard. This results in increased blood pressure and heart rate. Even though tobacco is a stimulant, addicted users think that smoking relaxes them, but it is really the result of the user having supplied their craving for nicotine. Smokers are constantly experiencing symptoms of the absence of nicotine "nicotine withdrawal", smoking relieves these symptoms by supplying their craving for nicotine. Almost all tobacco users, including those who use smokeless tobacco, become physically and psychologically dependent on nicotine. When smokers try to quit, they experience problems such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, appetite, temperature, and digestion. "Nicotine withdrawal" can also be accompanied by anxiety, insomnia, nausea, irritability, and fatigue. That's why the tobacco industries tries to hook kids, so that once they start they almost can't stop.
