Nicotine attaches to neurons/brain cells that release dopamine. Nicotine stimulates neurons to release unusually large amounts of dopamine.
Dopamine stimulates the brain's pleasure and reward circuit, so a group of brain structures called the limbic system involved in appetite, learning, memory, and feelings of pleasure.
Normally, pleasurable feelings come from food, comfort, and the company of people you love.
But smoking cigarettes causes a flood of dopamine in the smoker's brain. It's this flood of dopamine that gives the smoker intense feelings of pleasure
