Yes. Nicotine is a potent parasympathomimetic (works like any parasympathetic chemical which calm) alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants. It is made by the plant as a herbicide to prevent plant eaters from eating them. It is one of 7,000 chemicals found in tobacco and may not be the cause of tobacco addiction, according to recent research.
