fair do's russ, im an ex-passive smoker :P i must admit it didnt relax me!

 

ps.... so far theres no noticable downturn in trade at the pubs i go to since the ban :)

nicotine is a stimulant - subconsciously, the satisfying of the craving can 'relax' the smoker - but the actual nicotine 'buzz' is an 'upper' if you like....

 

I'd say that depends on how long you've been smoking actually.

 

After a while there is no rush and your smoking for the sake of smoking, I loved the niccie rush but it don't stay for long...well unless like you know you don't have one for a day or two. But we're talking about smokers not how can I put it part time smokers.
