Question

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

Explanation:

• "Possible development of diabetes" is not a short - term effect of nicotine and tobacco use. Diabetes development is a long - term and multifactorial process not directly related to short - term tobacco use.
• "Dental problems and mouth cancer" are long - term effects. They develop over time due to repeated exposure to tobacco - related chemicals.
• Nicotine, when consumed, quickly stimulates the brain's reward center. This is a short - term effect as it happens soon after using tobacco products.
• "Withdrawal effects due to nicotine addiction" occur when a person stops using nicotine after being addicted, which is a long - term consequence of regular use rather than a short - term effect of initial use.

Answer:

C. stimulation of the brain’s reward center
