Nicotine is a stimulant. So it does have the effect for many people of encouraging the body to go. Caffeine can do the same thing. Hence many people go after their first cup of coffee or first soda.

The introduction of nicotine in the body relaxes the sphincter muscles, which causes any fecal matter to slide through.

Yes, when I smoke it did that. Sometimes it would be helpful but most of the time is was annoying. I used to drink coffee and smoe a cigarette in the morning before school.. might as well have taken an exlax.
