Nicotine addiction is a dependent on the drug nicotine; however, when we say nicotine addiction, we usually refer to the addiction to tobacco products that contain nicotine. Nicotine possesses mood-altering capabilities which give the user a temporary high. This high is extremely pleasing and makes the user want to use it more and more. Put simply, once you use it long enough, you can’t stop using it. Also, those who try to quit, have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms which momentarily go away when they get a dose of nicotine.

Answer:

Nicotine is considered a type of drug that is found in tobacco and which generates dependence on the human being when it is consumed. Its level of addiction is so high that it has been compared with that of other stronger drugs such as cocaine or heroin.

The cause of nicotine addiction is because it has a stimulant, which causes it to generate dependence and the desire to consume more.

If the dose that "the body asks for" is not ingested, unpleasant physical and psychological effects can be experienced.

Among these is lack of sleep, headaches and lack of concentration among others.
