Here are some hypotheses for the effect of smoking on dreaming:

(1) Nicotine is a psychoactive drug (true). It could, by virtue of that, modify dream content or duration.

(2) Nicotine is a cerebral stimulant and can cause sleeplessness in some people (true). By virtue of that, it could modify dream duration and possibly content.

(3) Nicotine is an addictive drug. Desire for nicotine (or cigarettes) could translate into dream symbolism or themes.

(4) Withdrawal from nicotine could alter sleep and dreaming patterns.
