When we take nicotine that is in any form like a cigarette, chewing, and injection then within some seconds it dissolves in blood cells. And keep on traveling till it reaches the brain. 

In the brain, nicotine is attached to nicotine receptors. This attachment in the brain leads to the release of Dopamine chemicals.

When Dopamine is released we feel good. Because this chemical is associated with the feeling of pleasure and good.

Nicotine also leads to the release of some more chemicals in our body like Norepinephrine which will cause increases in blood pressure and you will not feel much hungry.
