Nicotine, the primary addictive substance in tobacco, exerts its effects in the brain by binding to neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). This interaction stimulates the release of neurotransmitters, reinforcing the addictive behavior associated with smoking.
Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective tobacco control strategies and helping individuals overcome nicotine dependence.

نیکوٹین، جو کہ تمباکو میں موجود سب سے زیادہ نشہ آور جز ہے، دماغ میں نیکوٹینک ایسٹی لائیو کولین ریسپٹرز سے جڑتا ہے۔ یہ عمل نشہ آور اثرات پیدا کرتا ہے اور تمباکو نوشی کی لت کو مضبوط بناتا ہے۔
اس سمجھ بوجھ سے نہ صرف تمباکو کے استعمال کو کم کرنے کے لئے بہتر پالیسیاں بنائی جا سکتی ہیں بلکہ لوگوں کو نیکوٹین سے چھٹکارہ پانے میں بھی مدد ملتی ہے۔
