Smokers love excuses. They can't quit because .. (fill in the
blank). I covered one of the favorite excuses in another
article, the 'concentration con'.
Now here's another of the main - can't quit - excuses. Smoking
helps relaxation. Most smokers claim it helps them relax. But
would you ever describe a smoker as relaxed ?
Their addiction (or habit) makes them nervous and jumpy. All
things equal, a smoker will never relax as they once did before
their drug.
Think about last time you ate in a restaurant. Isn't that a
relaxing environment when you're eating your meal, in good
company ? But that's not enough for the smoker. They're still
not relaxed. They need a cigarette fix, even between courses,
because they think that's what they need to relax.
Then they associate a temporary relaxation with the cigarette,
rather than the environment and company. They don't even
consider their non-smoker friends enjoyment might get ruined by
smoking.
Let's look at the realities of the relaxation ruse. Nicotine is
a stimulant, not a relaxant/depressant. A stimulant speeds up
metabolism, not slows it down.
The 'smoking is relaxing' claim counts as yet another irrational
excuse used by smokers who can't face up to quitting. The smoker
genuinely feels a cigarette will relax him.
In reality it's the habit, expectation and association with
relaxing situations that are the main reasons he feels relaxed.
Sometimes it's even the deep breathing effect that helps
relaxation.
Any sportsperson knows that deep breathing helps relax before an
event. Difference is he's breathing fresh air, rather than
poison ! Smokers actually credit their cigarette for a temporary
benefit they get from deep breathing.
Most people agree stress and relaxation make two opposite
conditions ? Many smokers think giving up will create more
stress. They think their cigarettes are actually relieving
stress.

Amazingly, cigarettes actually 'cause' the stress smokers think
they're relieving ! Continual craving for another cigarette;
guilt, helplessness at their inability to quit; low self-esteem'
Any of this sound familiar ? At best, another cigarette
temporarily reduces the stress caused by earlier cigarettes.
So we really should call the relaxation effect, the 'relaxation
ruse'' an illusion favored by uninformed smokers who wrongly
credit their cigarette with relaxation.
Quitting smoking means a return to relaxation. Quitting smoking
means a return to a clear head' among many other benefits. Once
you see through the relaxation ruse', you're much closer to
finally quitting smoking once and for all.
