Alcohol, cigarettes, vices

[Jarka]

Not all stimulants act like stimulants to people. While this probably doesn't relate to Nicotine and Cigarettes it's important to note.

I'm well aware of that, but the overwhelming majority of cigarette smokers seem to say it relaxes them. I'm making a broad leap of logic, but if the chemical and hormonal brain composition of smokers could be assumed to be an accurate representation of the general population, the overwhelming majority of cigarette smokers should be affected by the nicotine as a stimulant.

Just saying, that relaxed mood is probably 50% placebo, 50% meditative breathing.
