Nicotine is also contained in non-tobacco goods, including gum, patches, and other quit-smoking aids. Nicotine from chewing tobacco has the potential to be both a stimulant and a depressant to the central nervous system. Hence it is classified as a stimulant. The neurotransmitters adrenaline and dopamine are released when users inhale nicotine. This chemical causes the "jolt" that smokers experience. Epinephrine increases feelings of relaxation and pleasure.
