Nicotine is one of those things you’ve probably heard about being in cigarettes and other tobacco products. But did you know it’s also in vaping e juice?

Nicotine is a chemical found in tobacco. But now it’s also made in a lab. So for kids like us, things are getting even trickier.

There are some products that say tobacco free even though they still have nicotine in them. And there are devices out there that can say they’re nicotine free because they contain synthetic nicotine even though it’s just like actual nicotine.

Nicotine dependence happens when you need to have nicotine in your body and you can’t stop using it.

When you inhale smoke that contains nicotine, it goes to your brain and it releases chemicals like dopamine, which sends signals to your nerve cells.

But when your brain gets used to this feeling, it will need more of it more often to feel the same amount of pleasure.

And that’s what creates this kind of cycle of need and want.
