Smoking...effect on dopamine

Posted by jlo820 on August 13, 2003, at 0:22:39

I enjoy a pipe of my favorite English-blend tobacco every evening (Squadron Leader from Samuel Gawith, for my fellow pipe smokers).
What effects does this have on neuro-transmitters, especially dopamine? It is my understanding that smoking releases dopamine, which in turn gives that relaxed, satisfied, feeling that I enjoy oh so much. Is this accurate?
