Chemical infobox

Nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants (Solanaceae), predominantly in tobacco, and in lower quantities in tomato, potato, eggplant (aubergine), and green pepper. Nicotine alkaloids are also found in the leaves of the coca plant. Nicotine constitutes 0.3 to 5% of the tobacco plant by dry weight, with biosynthesis taking place in the roots, and accumulates in the leaves. It is a potent nerve poison and is included in many insecticides.

In lower concentrations, the substance is a stimulant and is one of the main factors responsible for the dependence-forming properties of tobacco smoking. Although pure nicotine is noncarcinogenic, its presence may inhibit the natural ability of the body to get rid of cells with significant genetic damage before they turn cancerous. .

Only reason I'm working today is to fund my nicotine habit for the next few weeks. Else, I would be sleeping. And dreaming. WHILE ASLEEP.

There comes a certain threshold where nicotine isn't able to suppress hunger.
