As soon as you inhale the smoke the nicotines speeds to your brain within ten seconds and causing it to release epinephrine, A.K.A adrenaline, . This creates the rush felt by the user. The effect stays in your body for as long as 30 minutes. The nicotine also releases dopamine from the brain, a neurochemical that causes pleasure. So the average person who smokes 40 cigarettes a day gets 400 hits of nicotine to the brain.
This adiction is what makes it hard for smokers to stop. When you stop smoking you immediately begin to feel withdrawal symptoms, insomnia, irritability, difficulty paying attention, headaches, stomach pain will occure, along with depression and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety also effects how nicotine acts on your body, causing the you to need greater quanitites of the nicotine to get the same effect. So if you are a smoker under stress and you say that you need to smoke more, that is a typical response to a common reaction. It will continue even when you are not in the stressful environment or situation anymore. Tobacco companies know this, that is why it is said that if you started smoking as a child/teen you are a smoker/addicted for life, and they have a customer/revenue for life.
