What does nicotine do?
Nicotine is a poison and taken in large doses could kill a person by PARALYZING breathing muscles. (YIKES!!) Smokers usually take it in small amounts that the body can quickly break down and get rid of, which is why the nicotine does not kill instantly.
The first dose of nicotine causes a person to feel awake and alert, while later doses result in a calm, relaxed feeling. Nicotine can make new smokers, and regular smokers who get too much of it, feel dizzy or nauseous.
The resting heart rate for young smokers increases 2 to 3 beats per minute. It also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet. Evidence shows that nicotine plays an important role in increasing smokers' risk of heart disease and stroke.
