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. Starting to smoke at a young age (18 years) is also a primary reason for nicotine addiction. Anyone with a history of alcoholism or drug abuse is at an increased risk of developing a nicotine addiction.
