INTRODUCTION
Nicotine is a hygroscopic, colorless to slight yellow, oily liquid, that is readily soluble in alcohol, ether or light petroleum. It is widely used recreationally as a stimulant and anxiolytic.
MANUFACTURE
Nicotine exists naturally in some plants; the highest concentrations are found in the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum (the tobacco plant). Once the leaves are harvested from the tobacco plant, nicotine is extracted through steam distillation or chemical extraction processes.

| Structure |  |
| APPLICATIONS |
|---|
| Nicotine has uses as a recreational drug, as a treatment for tobacco addiction, and as a pesticide. |
| Medical |
|---|
| Nicotine is used to help treat addiction to or dependence on smoking cigarettes. |
| This form of treatment is called nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). NRT products contain less nicotine than cigarettes and do not contain many harmful chemicals typically found in cigarettes. |
| Recreational |
|---|
| Nicotine is used as a recreational drug because of its mood-altering and pleasure-inducing effects. |
| While cigarettes are the most common medium through which nicotine is consumed recreationally, there are other nicotine products like e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars, snuff, and pipe tobacco. |
| Pesticide |
|---|
| Nicotine has been used as an insecticide in the form of tobacco extract. |
| In nicotine producing plants, nicotine functions as an antiherbavory chemical. |
