> it's a form of caffeine that enhances dopamine transmission,

I don't think that's what you were trying to say. Nicotine is not a form of caffeine, though the two are used for much the same reasons.

> Freud .. was a cocaine addict, and also smoked nicotine.

I wouldn't say he was a cocaine addict, though he was a regular user for some time. I'd say he *was* addicted to cigars, however -- he continued to smoke them even after he got oral cancer.
