When you smoke a cigarette, the components; e.g. nicotine and carbon monoxide enter the lungs and are absorbed into the bloodstream. They are carried by the Red Blood Cells to the blood-brain barrier, here, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), resulting to a cascade that results to release of dopamine (good-feeling neurotransmitter).

Suppose we discovered a form of life like our own which utilized 20 amino acids, but had 6 nitrogeneous bases instead of the 4 o
mezya [45]
The minimum legth of a codon could be two. If it was only one of the 6 nitrogeneous bases in a codon, we'd only have 6 possible amino acids. If we have, though, a combination of two amino acids out of the 6 nitrogeneous bases, we would have then 36 possible combinations (6 possibilities for the first position × 6 possibilities for the second position) that would allow the existence of the 20 different amino acids.
In the human case, for example, with only 4 nitrogeneous bases, a combination of two amino acids would be insufficient (4×4=16) for the 20 amino acids.
