Disease/Condition Glossary

Nicotine addiction: Nicotine is an addictive chemical found in the tobacco plant. It produces pleasing effects on the brain when a person smokes a cigarette. This effect is temporary, but it leads to the compulsive craving for one more cigarette. This continuous process of wanting to smoke despite a strong will to quit smoking is known as nicotine addiction/nicotine dependence. Symptoms include frequently failing to stop smoking, giving up social gatherings to smoke, and withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit smoking.
