Answer 2

These are the pharmacologic side effects from using nicotine. As you can see, the only effect it has on the pulmonary system is an increased respiration rate.

If you meant smoking, then that is a completely different thing. While nicotine is highly addictive, it isn't the problem in smoking, all of the other carcinogens in the smoke are the problem.

Gastrointestinal - Decreased appetite
Neurological - Medullary depression, neurologic blockade
Cardiac - Tachycardia, hypertension
Pulmonary - Increased respiratory rate
Systemic - Tolerance, dependence
