It only takes 10 seconds for nicotine to reach the brain
There is a moment, about 10 seconds after using tobacco, when nicotine hits the brain and causes a rush of adrenaline. It’s like your first kiss… except it’s fake. The chemicals in nicotine are fooling your brain into a moment of pleasure. Then, just like that, the feeling is gone. And that is how an addiction starts. Cigarettes might replace the joy of your first kiss for a minute, but when it’s over your life-long relationship is with a product that will eventually kill you.
