Smoking is a harmful practice in which abusive substances (such as tobacco) are burned and ingested in the form of smoke. Tobacco contains a chemical called nicotine, which makes you smoke more. Within seconds of taking a puff, nicotine from the tobacco reaches your brain and increases the release of certain brain chemicals that regulate your mood and behaviour. Over a period, this causes addiction, and your body tends to show cravings for smoking or precipitate withdrawal symptoms if you try to quit smoking.
