Nicotine
Yes it causes an addiction to the brain it stimulates it then it depends on it
The substance in cigarette smoke that causes addiction is nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical that stimulates the release of neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to feelings of pleasure and reward. This addictive property makes it difficult for individuals to quit smoking, even when they are aware of the health risks associated with tobacco use.
The ingredient nicotine, which goes to the brain and makes the brain demand more of the nicotine, causing the addiction.
The nicotine affects the brain and is what causes the cigarette to be so addictive.
Well, if you do it long enough, you will most likely become dependent on it, i.e. become addicted. The addiction is basically associating things with nicotine. An example would be after you eat, you want a cigarette, so you have one a cigarette. So your brain therefore will associate eating with a cigarette. So called reaction formation which causes a hatred against people who smoke from those who ceased to smoke.
Cigarette cravings are predominantly a result of the addictive nature of nicotine. The craving itself is a message from the brain asking for more nicotine. That is way even if you smoke something in response to the craving and that something dose n't contain nicotine, the craving will not go away.
Your addiction changes the brain by altering its chemistry. A drug interferes with the natural processes of the brain. Because of this, it can cause the brain to become dependent on the drug to perform natural processes. This means if you stop taking the drug, the brains new set of natural processes get disrupted and that cause a craving, because the body and brain believe the need the drug to function properly; this causes an addiction.

Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine and, to a lesser extent, norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain. This causes the accumulation of dopamine, leading to euphoria and excitation. The increased stimulation of dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic (reward) circuit leads to addiction. Alcohol binds with GABA receptors producing inhibitory effects on neural activity. This produces cognitive impairment and reduced anxiety (disinhibition). Activation of GABA receptors also produces postsynaptic dopamine release, which stimulates the mesolimbic circuit in the brain, producing euphoria and addiction.
