However, nicotine alone and when not combined with the cancerous and poisonous chemicals found in cigarettes is relatively safe and non-toxic in small doses and can help rather than harm. Within the brain nicotine stimulates the release of many chemical messengers including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and beta-endorphin. These chemicals result in improved mood, concentration and memory and nicotine is presently under research to treat a number of medical conditions including:
- Depression - Research indicates that nicotine can aid the symptoms of depression at least temporarily by stimulating neurotransmitters in the brain which affect Dopamine, Serotonin and Norepinephrine.
- Schizophrenia - Research at the Yale School of Medicine suggests that nicotine may improve attention and short-term memory in patients with schizophrenia.
- Alzheimer's Disease - Studies show that nicotine increases the releases of acetylcholine which increases memory function.
Nicotine Facts | Nicotine is Good
Nicotine Facts: Nicotine is Good, Smoking is Bad! Nicotine is the drug that results in between 80,000 to 100,000 children becoming addicted to cigarettes each and every day and smoking cigarettes accounts for 1 in 10 deaths globally each year from smoking related disease!
Nicotine has a bad reputation due to it's association with cigarettes, but it is not a bad drug. Nicotine may account for the addiction to cigarettes but it does not cause death or disease, it is the chemicals found in cigarettes which are added during the production process that account for the consequences of smoking, not nicotine.
Nicotine the Word and the Drug
The word nicotine is derived from the Frenchman Jean Nicot who first introduced tobacco to France in 1560 and is a naturally forming organic compound found throughout the tobacco plant with trace elements found in other plants of the Solanaceae (nightshade) family which include potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, and green pepper.
- Parkinson's Disease - Again acetycholine, maybe of value in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Nicotine may help people with ADHD. Eric C. Westman, Medical director of the Nicotine Research Program at Duke University and Durham Veteran's Administration Medical Centre has said "It is assumed that nicotine helps people with ADHD,"
- Obesity - Nicotine is an appetite suppressant and is presently under research to treat obesity.
However, even though nicotine may improve mood, concentration and memory, albeit temporarily, the benefits from nicotine are not an excuse to smoke cigarettes as when combined with cigarettes can hurt rather than help and any benefits derived from cigarettes are outweighed by the long term consequences of smoking, the financial cost of smoking and social restrictions caused by smoking.
If you do smoke cigarettes it is important to recognize that you do have an addiction, and cigarette addiction due to its physical and psychological nature is one of the hardest addictions to overcome. But you can overcome your cigarette addiction and smoking habit and millions of people do each year, but first you have to be fully committed to doing so, believe you can do so and then be willing to go through the cigarette withdrawal symptoms and then avoid ever smoking another cigarette again.

The drug nicotine when inhaled with tobacco smoke reaches the brain within 7 seconds and the act of smoking just a few cigarettes can quickly lead to tolerance, dependence and a life-long addiction to smoking cigarettes. In 1988 the United States Surgeon General's report concluded that cigarettes and other forms of tobacco were just as addictive as heroin and cocaine.
