What in tobacco is addictive other than nicotine?

Good question. Artile suggests that there is something. MAOI perhaps? Whatever that is...

  • Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor(s). Many antidepressants fall into this category. MAOI's inhibit the enzyme that cleans up several endogenous molecules, like serotonin, and some drugs, like the amphetamines.
