Cigarette smoking relaxation myth

I found this comic strip very funny and true. Majority of cigarettes smokers who would like to Quit Smoking has this reason or mind set that unable them (I mean us!) to find their will to stop. We think that that it relaxes us and it is a great benefit to relieve us from stress. The question is, does cigarette smoking really relaxes the mind and body?.

Base on experienced, cigarettes smoking relaxes me or it's just what I think. Smokers never really search why is this so, but we always do think that it relaxes us without even realizing that cigarette smoking do the opposite. Nicotine is a stimulant which means it increase your adrenaline and heart rate, so why do we have a feeling of relaxed state during smoking? It just really satisfy your/our craving for nicotine that is why our body feels satisfied because of the intake. It even makes us nervous and do the thinking system hay-wire because of less supply of oxygen to the brain.

So the term smoking relaxation is just a myth that is false, if we want to really feel relaxed, try to Quit Smoking, I bet we all be worry-free and relaxed.
