Wiki created on: April 2008 Wiki created by: Heather L, Mitch M, and David S.

__**Description:**__ In this wiki our class was arranged into groups and we were to do research on a certain topic assigned to each group. Our group was assigned nicotine.

Our group was assigned nicotine, which is a addicting substance in cigarettes. After collecting our data and researching this topic we had to put the information we found together and display it onto a wiki; which you can view at the top of this page. I learned that Smoking can be addicting and it not only can pysically affect you but mentally as well. Smoking can even end up being expensive and waisting your money. This project was very in depth we didn't just research that nicotin is addicting but we learned exactly how it triggers our body to want more and more. For example, when you smoke the nicotine goes straight into your bloodstream and the nicotine makes the smoker addicted because it affects the chemistry of the brain and central nervous system. In the Wiki we explained more in depth as to how this process takes place.
 * __Impact:__**

After gathering so much information on nicotine it made me realize how dangerous smoking is. I always knew nicotine was the addicting substance in cigarettes but I never researched how it caused this reaction. I enjoyed learning more about this topic. I was amazed at the information we found and will definatly never consider smoking. It is fascinating at how harmful smoking can be to your, even one cigarette can harm you. This group assignment has opened my eyes and I intend on informing others of this harmful chemical and I will encourage others to not smoke just like me!
