An addiction to cigarettes starts by smoking them. Cigarettes contain a chemical called nicotine. The nicotine triggers receptors in the brain and causes feelings of relaxation or pleasure. So after a while, when someone starts to feel stress, they have conditioned themselves to reach for a cigarette. There is both the physical addiction of the nicotine, and also the psychological factors. The psychological part include the habit of putting things in one's mouth, as well as factors such as stress, loneliness, boredom and nervousness leading the person to want a cigarette.
