Why are cigarettes addicting?
Nicotine in cigarettes is what makes them so addictive. Nicotine is a stimulant that releases beta-endorphins, the natural chemical in our brains that makes us feel good. Smokers will reach for a cigarette when they are stressed as it will make them feel calm, in control but alert at the same time. It is easy to get used to this feeling and need it more and more but as the body can't store nicotine, more cigarettes are needed to keep producing the same effect.

Yes the nicotine in electronic cigarettes goes into your system... though not as quickly as with traditional cigarettes. The reason traditional cigs go into your system is because the nicotine is free based with ammonia. Ammonia + the 1000's of other chemicals are what make cigarettes way more dangerous than e-cigs...which have no known harmful effects.

Nicotine is a drug, and therefore can and will give you a feeling of euphoria for a short amount of time. Often, this is short lived due to the rapid absorption into the body, it also depends on how you smoke your cigarette. Holding in the smoke and inhaling a large amount of smoke will lead to more nicotine in the body. The 'high' will dissipate as you smoke more cigarettes or chew more tobacco because your body becomes immune to the nicotine (this is why people smoke more and more cigarettes, and find it increasingly difficult to quit)

Chewing tobacco and tobacco you put under your lip, cigarettes, nicotine patches and nicotine gum.
