Nicotine stimulates the adrenal cortex, increases the adrenaline and noradrenalin Breakdown. As a consequence - increased heart beat, increased blood pressure, minutely soul is, cardiac work and oxygen consumption mmiokarde. Smokers break 10-20 heart beats per minute, so a year in smoking among human heart shake 5-10 million times more than non-smokers the human heart. Peripheral vascular BAI is rapidly absorbed and pulmonary capillary wedge within a few seconds to produce high concentrations in the brain. During the oral mucous membrane, nicotine is absorbed slowly and incomplete. After 6-8 hours nicotine levels by 75%. When a man strongly felt by withdrawal symptoms.

Part of nicotine break down from heat, part -- dissipates in the environment. into the body from falling on 2mg. lethal dose of the human body is 1 mg nicotine per kilogram of body weight.
