Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Tobacco acts as a local irritant.
Used as snuff, it excites violent sneezing and a copious secretion of mucus on chewing, it irritates the mucous membrane of the mouth and increases the flow of saliva.
Nicotine is the major stimulatory compound of tobacco products including cigarettes.
It is highly poisonous as well as a habit forming alkaloid.
It stimulates passage of nerve impulses, causes muscles to relax and causes the release of adrenaline, increasing both blood pressure and heart beat rate.
