www.thezoneplymouth.co.uk

When nicotine is inhaled, adrenaline is released which stimulates

the body. Nicotine also activates parts of the brain that are

involved in producing feelings of pleasure and reward (see ‘Your

experience with nicotine depends on...’ for different factors that

can affect this).

The effects of nicotine depend on how the individual

takes it, how much is taken and the strength of the

nicotine in the product. Smoking cigarettes is the

fastest way that your body can absorb nicotine.

Smoking cigarettes also has the strongest effect on

your brain.
