How many times have we said that to ourselves in the past or maybe you're even saying it to yourself now.  Believe it or not smoking does not relieve your stress.  Have you ever noticed after about a half-hour to an hour you're right back to where you were in the first place, just running out to get your relaxation again?  Hmmm, might not really be relaxing you after all.  Here's a good article I found that explains the illusion.   The Mental Effects of Nicotine Use and Tobacco Addiction

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
