Conventional wisdom loses another round: smoking doesn't cut stress, after all

MONDAY, Oct. 25 (HealthSCOUT) -- Your computer crashed. You're stressed, so you have a cigarette. Your babysitter's car broke down. You're stressed, so you have a cigarette. Your cat died. You're stressed, so you have a cigarette.
Bad choice. Contrary to popular belief, says a study in the latest issue of the American Psychologist, nicotine heightens stress. You just feel like it's made you calmer because the "relaxant effect of smoking only reflects the reversal of the tension and irritability that develop during nicotine depletion," wrote Andy C. Parrott, author of the study and a psychologist with the University of East London. "Dependent smokers need nicotine to remain feeling normal. The message that tobacco use does not alleviate stress but actually increases it needs to be far more widely known."
