Question

which is a short-term effect of nicotine and tobacco use?
○ possible development of diabetes
○ dental problems and mouth cancer
○ stimulation of the brains reward center
○ withdrawal effects due to nicotine addiction

Explanation:

• "Possible development of diabetes" is a long - term or multifactorial health issue not directly a short - term effect of nicotine/tobacco use.
• "Dental problems and mouth cancer" are long - term effects that develop over time with continued use.
• Nicotine, when consumed, quickly stimulates the brain's reward center. This is a short - term effect as it happens soon after use.
• "Withdrawal effects due to nicotine addiction" occur when a person who is addicted stops using nicotine, so it is not a short - term effect of use but of cessation (after addiction has formed).

Answer:

C. stimulation of the brain's reward center
