Question

when you use tobacco products, nicotine is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. within 10 seconds of entering your body, the nicotine reaches your brain and causes the brain to release adrenaline, creating a buzz of pleasure and energy
the buzz fades quickly though, and leaves you feeling tired, a little down, and wanting the buzz again. this feeling is what makes you light up the next cigarette. since your body is able to build up a high tolerance to nicotine, youll need to smoke more and more
this up and down cycle repeats over and over, leading to addiction. addiction keeps people smoking even when they want to quit
research suggests that children and teens may be especially sensitive to nicotine, making it easier for them to become addicted. the younger smokers are when they start, the more likely they are to become addicted. in fact,
which effects of nicotine use do most users experience? check all that apply
□ nicotine affects the pleasure centers of the brain, making it addictive.
□ teens who smoke are less likely to smoke as adults.
□ people have to increase their nicotine use over time to receive the same effects.
□ people who want to quit are generally able to do so
□ stopping use leads to a tired feeling

Explanation:

1. For "Nicotine affects the pleasure centers of the brain, making it addictive": The text says nicotine reaches the brain, causes adrenaline release (pleasure), and the cycle leads to addiction. So this applies.
2. For "Teens who smoke are less likely to smoke as adults": The text states younger smokers are more likely to be addicted, so teens who smoke are more likely to smoke as adults. This is incorrect.
3. For "People have to increase their nicotine use over time to receive the same effects": The text says the body builds tolerance, so more nicotine is needed. This applies.
4. For "People who want to quit are generally able to do so": The text says addiction keeps people smoking even when they want to quit, so this is incorrect.
5. For "Stopping use leads to a tired feeling": The text says the buzz fades, leaving one tired. So stopping (after use) leads to tiredness. This applies.

Answer:

• Nicotine affects the pleasure centers of the brain, making it addictive.
• People have to increase their nicotine use over time to receive the same effects.
• Stopping use leads to a tired feeling.
