Why is it important?
We found that there are some genes which works together to catalyze the digestion of nicotine which is the main chemical in tobacco smoke that leads people to smoking addiction. These genes particularly provide necessary information to encode enzyme that digest nicotine, and if you do have them you may probably have strong desired to smoke, because you can catalyze nicotine and feel a great sensation whenever you do.
