Question 46 • KY-Health Education

Which is a short-term effect of nicotine and tobacco use?

Answer
A
possible development of diabetes
B
dental problems and mouth cancer
C
stimulation of the brain’s reward center
D
withdrawal effects due to nicotine addiction

Explanation

Nicotine quickly affects the brain by stimulating its reward center, which can produce feelings of pleasure and reinforce use. That makes “stimulation of the brain’s reward center” the short-term effect. Diabetes, dental problems, and mouth cancer are longer-term health risks; withdrawal effects occur when nicotine use is reduced or stopped after dependence develops.
