Nicotine is the principle alkaloid in tobacco and is considered to be responsible for tobacco dependence due to its psychoactive properties and its capacity to induce self-administration behavior in animals. Its action affects the brain where it binds to specific nicotinic receptors distributed on the mesolimbic and mesocortial dopaminergic pathways ...
