Smoking

[chilloutrich]

It doesn't relieve stress. It's a placebo.
The only stress it relieves is the stress you get from not having a cigarette.
Which is stress that you wouldn't have if you didn't start smoking.

It's a depressant. So no, it doesn't.
And yes I have tried it.

Not it isnt a depressant. Stop claiming you know things when obviously you do not.

I do since I do drugs work with primary school kids.
& the affect varys between people. However overall the only stress it relieves is the stress from needing a cigarette. You obviously wouldn't agree as you smoke.


''How smoking makes you believe it helps with stress

Most smokers smoke more when they are stressed. That makes you believe you won't be able to cope with stress when you don't smoke - and that belief puts you off stopping.

But it's not true. Smoking doesn't make you less stressed. It makes you more stressed. And here's the proof.

Can you remember the first cigarette you ever smoked - or perhaps the first one after you'd been stopped for a while? Did it taste bad? Did it make you a bit dizzy or nauseous? That was a stress reaction - the body's physical reaction to a chemical stressor. Since then, you have adapted and can smoke without feeling that reaction, but don't make the mistake of thinking it doesn't occur. Every cigarette you ever smoke puts your body in chemical stress. It's just that you have learned not to feel it. That's what addiction means.

So why does it feel like a cigarette makes you feel calmer? It's simple really. When you are addicted (to anything), not getting that substance produces withdrawal symptoms, even minor ones you're not aware of. When you get what you need, the symptoms go away. So the stress you relieve by smoking is the stress of not having had a cigarette. That's all. It doesn't relieve any other stress - just the stress of not smoking. So of course if you didn't smoke you wouldn't need to relieve the stress of not having had a cigarette.''

Well I am not a chain smoker or anything. I usually have one when I get stressed as I find it helps a lot! You may THINK it doesnt help, but it does.

Yes it is a depressant "/ Stop ranting at other people when they blatently know alot more than you and you smoke when Romance doesn't.

"According to the Imperial College London, "Nicotine seems to provide both a stimulant and a depressant effect"

Taking off wikipedia, so care to apologise to her?

[Dj_dude007]

No I dont care to apologise AT ALL. It doesnt have a depressant effect on me and many others so obviously what people think are 'facts' are actually not.
