Nicotine
Nicotine is a potent alkaloid that primarily acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. It leads to the release of various neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine, which significantly contributes to the development of dependence. Nicotine has stimulating effects and influences cognitive functions as well as the reward system. The substance carries a high potential for addiction and can cause health risks through long-term use.
