Ex heavy smoker here - once you're addicted (which happens very quickly!) it will only "calm your nerves" because it's giving you a hit of something that you are addicted to, and you get antsy if you don't have it. Overall you become more stressed from smoking.
The way I quit was by going for a run every time I got a bad urge, even in the night. I became an excellent runner but it took a long time for my lung capacity to become healthy again. First few months I was spluttering and wheezing, it was gross.
