The fact that smoking helps to 'relieve' stress means that you
are already addicted to smoking to some degree.. I don't think I
have any less problems than u (don't get me started), but the
thought of smoking never even pop up before.
If i'm not wrong the reason why you get affected by stress so
easily is at least partly due to smoking, subtle withdrawal
symptoms are normally not so detectable, but once u r subject to
stress, it makes it worse.
My dad was a smoker for almost 30 years and only gave up less than
10 years ago. Nowadays he tells me how much he regrets wasting much
of his youth to smoking.. i.e., not eating well, bad temper, health
problems and generally screwing it up unnecessarily. Now he is much
healthier, enjoys life more and actually performs better at work +
managing stress even tho he is much older.
Its ur choice whether u want to go down the same path.
