Answer:

All Listed. See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicotine binds to nicotinic receptors in the brain, augmenting the release of numerous neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and glutamate. Cigarette smoke has other psychoactive properties apart from nicotinic receptor stimulation.
