Nicotine.
However, studies have found that cigarettes are also addictive
because tobacco smoke contains a substance that appears
to destroy an important brain enzyme known as
monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). MAO is required to break down excess amounts of dopamine, which is a
neurotransmitter that triggers pleasure-seeking
behavior.
Smokers have less MAO than non-snokers and
abnormally high levels of dopamine.
Hence the addiction to smoking.

Smoking initiates many processes in the body. As nicotine enters, the endorphin is released and you are actually becoming high. Yes these are sort of drugs which have obvious symptoms like becoming anxious, sweating and feeling of physical illness on removal. But you can easily give-up this habit. I found a good e-book on Smoking Cessation stop-smoking-guru. Concerning cigarettes being cool, I dont agree with you. What I feel is that some great personalities fall victim to this habit making it look cool which is surely a myth.
