NICOTINE

Nicotine is a chemical that contains nitrogen, which is made by several types of plants, including the tobacco plant. It is also produced synthetically.
Nicotine is both a sedative and a stimulant.
When a body is exposed to nicotine, the individual experiences a “kick.” This is partly caused by nicotine stimulating the adrenal glands, which results in the release of adrenaline.
This surge of adrenaline stimulates the body. There is an immediate release of glucose, as well as an increase in heart rate, breathing activity, and blood pressure.




Nicotine causes a wide range of side effects in most organs and systems.

#The circulation of the blood can be affected in the following ways:
-an increased clotting tendency, leading to a risk of harmful blood clots
atherosclerosis, in which plaque forms on the artery wall
enlargement of the aorta

#Side effects in the brain include:
-dizziness and lightheadedness
-irregular and disturbed sleep
-bad dreams and nightmares
-possible blood restriction


#In the gastrointestinal system, nicotine can have the following effects:
-nausea and vomiting
-dry mouth, or xerostomia
-indigestion
-peptic ulcers
-diarrhea
-heartburn

#The heart can experience the following after taking in nicotine:
-changes in heart rate and rhythm
-an increase in blood pressure
-constrictions and diseases of the coronary artery
-an increased risk of stroke.

SUGAR MOLECULES/CHEMICAL FORMULA

Sugar chemical Formula Sugar, also known as saccharose, sucrose or by the chemical name α-D-glucopyranosyl, is a carbohydrate extensively used in the food industry and homemade food preparation. Formula and structure:  The sucrose chemical formula is C 12 H 22 O 11  and the molar mass is 342.30 g mol -1 . The structure is a disaccharide formed by two subunits, one of glucose and one unit of fructose. The crystal structure is monoclinic. Its chemical structure can be written as below, in the common representations used for organic molecules. Physical properties:  Sucrose is white, odorless and sweet taste crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water (2000 g /L) and other polar solvents. Its density is 1.587 g mL -1 . The sucrose doesn't have melting point, it decomposes up to 186 C. Chemical properties:  The sucrose is formed by two subunits of other very known sugars: fructose and glucose. One of them is a six member heterocycle (glucose ring) while the anoth
