I have heard from many of the posts here that smoking helps them to relive their tensions.....I really wonder coz i had been a smoker once and there was nothing of that sort with me ??

could be just placebo. Thats what they heared and that's what they think it does. I can't realy tell I'm not a smoker.

Yeah i think that too... that it's like a placebo. I think that um... eating a candy bar can do the same thing if you really believe in it :D

U r right, but to be true it gives tension. If u wont smoke for an hour, u will get tension that u havent from a long time and that gets releived only once u have

I guess it depends how addicted you are. If you have a very strong addiction, and a craving strikes, then I imagine tension would build up until you satisfy it.

When you're stressed, it's always good to breathe deaply, right? So my guess is the breaths it takes to smoke probably have something to do with it.

no it doesnt.. what he said is right, after a while it kills u, and creates problem like cancers and stuff,, the chemotherapy maybe also one of the reasons that costs less tension!
