  • Nicotine is a substance that can have both an excitatory or relaxing effect, depending on the individual. So it doesn't always relieve anxiety. One thing for sure, it is addictive, carcinogenic and harmful to your health. It's not helping you with anxiety at all and it could be having a stimulant effect on your brain, thus potentiating your anxiety. So what's the point in using it?

      • It won't remain "one every now and then."
        See, this is one of the most addictive substances in the world. When you are older and let's say, face a mid-life crisis...you can start heavy smoking and as you know, this is particularly harmful to your health - COPD, lung cancer, etc Smoking just one cigarette day can increase the risk of getting other potentially fatal diseases - like stroke and heart disease. Read up on that hey.
