People who smoke sometimes say that cigarettes help to cope with stress or calm down. However, it is essential to understand that this effect is also due to slow inhalation and exhalation. And it can be achieved without using a cigarette.  The nicotine ingestion and the ritual aspect of smoking are said to be the most powerful aspect of smoking addiction. Especially the nicotine. New e-cigarette technology allows smokers to access nicotine in a vapor form as well as mimic the ritual aspects of smoking. According to the MigVapor.com website, e-cigarettes can be made to look like cigarettes. As a result, the slow inhalation and exhalation, nicotine, and coping ritual can be mimicked with an alternative to cigarettes.

Smoking and stress are things one of which is a consequence of the other. Smoking itself is a powerful source of stress for the body. It is created by exposure to the following components of smoking:

Nicotine, which enters the body during smoking, is addictive, and over time, the lack of a dose of nicotine becomes a stress in itself. Therefore, a smoked cigarette brings calm.
The intoxication of the body. The accumulation of toxic substances in the body as a result of smoking leads to a lack of oxygen, which causes a decrease in inefficiency.

A person may mistakenly attribute these manifestations to a property of his own character. But if he quits smoking and gives the body clear of harmful substances, these manifestations will be much less disturbing.

Emotional factor. For many people, the habit of smoking is psychological, so stress in the absence of cigarettes is caused not by nicotine addiction, but by a violation of the usual way of life. Awareness of addiction can also cause emotional discomfort.

Smoking not only adversely affects human health but also violates its psycho-emotional sphere. Quitting smoking and overcoming addiction will help remove one of the stress factors in life, as well as significantly reduce the level of anxiety of a person.
