During the 1970s, Schachter's research shifted focus yet again, this time to tobacco-smoking and nicotine.His research on this topic proved that nicotine was a highly-addictive substance and produced withdrawal effects in those trying to quit a full fifteen years before the tobacco industry would publicly admit these things.In 1983, Schachter's extensive and ground-breaking research studies earned him a spot in the National Academy of Sciences.
