Hey guys,
Bit of a random one here but I'm just really interested in what people here will reply - you lot always seem so insightful!
Obviously we all know the detrimental physical effects of smoking in terms of cancer likelihood, breathing/vascular complications, etc, but what about the effects of the sub stances themselves like nicotine etc? Are they therapeutic? Stressors? Stimulants? Relaxants?
I'm just wondering because I used to smoke, and i remember it somewhat relieving my stress, but perhaps the feeling of stress was CREATED by the chemicals I'd ingested from smoking in the first place. So does smoking cause hormonal havoc?
