BJ, I read somewhere....probably Allen Carr's book, that 20 minutes after one puts out a cigarette the withdrawal process begins. So, when you light up that next cig, you think you are reducing stress when in reality you are just feeding your addiction. So you see, smoking causes stress because if you don't light up, you become very uncomfortable and stressed.
When I read that, for some reason it made me really mad.....being duped for decades into this vile habit. But the anger and the knowlege helped me quit because, as Lady said, "everyday I'm closer to never feeling that way again" (wanting to smoke). That was my mantra the first couple of months and got me thru ALOT of craves.
NOPE,
