Nicotine is the substance that increases the craving for tobacco. It speeds up the heart rate which increases the craving for tobacco. People who use tobacco daily create a tolerance for tobacco. Tolerance is when the body develops a need for larger and larger doses of drugs to feel the same effect. Tobacco also contains tarwhich is a black substance which coats the linings of the lung.
