Smoking only gives the illusion of relaxation, not real stress relief.
Smoking inhales a large amount of nicotine, which quickly enters the bloodstream and reaches the brain tissue, and nicotine can increase the secretion of dopamine in the brain, thus making smokers feel the illusion of relaxation. Long-term smoking is addictive and harmful to health, leading to chronic pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and other diseases.
Therefore, smoking does not really relieve stress, and it is not recommended to relax by smoking, but can be used to relieve stress and achieve relaxation through exercise, listening to music, traveling and other ways.
Smoking is hazardous to health and smokers are advised to quit as soon as possible and seek help from smoking cessation clinics if necessary.
