when nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, This causes the release of a specific neurotransmitter called dopamine.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain which causes pleasure to the brain but it is a complex chemical. Generally, dopamine gives a feeling of motivation, happiness, and focus.
  • Due to the intake of nicotine, dopamine is secreted at a high level and it increases the excessive qualities of dopamine.
  • It cause a serious problem in the brain. High secretion of dopamine will make us lose interest and became more complex in us.
