Itranvenous administration of nicotine causes release of acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonine, vasopressin, beta-endorphin and ACTH. nicotine is a highly addictive substance. nicotine also induces peripheral vasoconstriction, tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. nicotine inhalers and patches are used to treat smoking withdrawl syndrome. nicotine is classified as a stimulant of autonomic ganglia.
