The nicotine is the addictive substance, however it is the tar within the cigarette which is harmful to the human body. This tar sufficiently reduced the surface area of the alveoli to perform gas exchange. This black tar fills up and blocks the lungs making it harder for the smoker to breathe - causing breathlessness. This tar build up also leads to Heart diseases and such.
