Hmmm...

Among the other glaring problems that I don't have time to list, there is a problem with this sentence:

"The inhaled substances trigger chemical reactions in nerve endings in the brain due to being similar to naturally occurring substances such as endorphins and dopamines, which are associated with sensations of pleasure."

First of all they say "dopamines". There is no plural, there is only one dopamine. I think the word they are searching for is catecholamine. Additionally, nicotine, for example, is not really that close structurally to endorphins or dopamine, and it acts on nicotinic receptors, not dopaminergic receptors.
