Smoking produces decreased tension and an anxiolytic effect – a tranquilising effect and reduced muscle tension. It implies Nesbitt’s paradox - smoking generates physiological and psychological changes normally thought of as incompatible, namely increased arousal and awareness with decreased stress. It stimulates concentration but keeps you calm. A great combination!
Smoking also acts as an appetite suppressant by reducing the desire for sweet food and carbohydrates.
Nicotine probably helps ADHD sufferers reduce their ‘attentional deficits’.
Smoking probably reduces problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease and perhaps schitzophrenia.
