Yes it is a naturally occuring chemical. It also occurs in broccoli and carrots. More has been added, at least in the past, to all kinds of tobacco to make it more addictive.

Nicotine does occur naturally in tobacco; the word "nicotine" comes from the Latin name of the plant, "nicotiana spp." The particular plant that is used in most tobacco products is "nicotiana tabacum." That being said, quite a lot has been said in the media in recent years about tobacco companies adding nicotine to many tobacco products to increase dependency.

Only if you don't share the Brandy Uncle. That comes straight from the pages of my Bible. Granted, it's an added footnote but it still counts..

yeah it's natural. and isn't so bad for you in its pure leaf form, it's just all the additives they put in cigarettes that kills you.
