Hi blu3,
Nictotine is a very strong Stimulant, it is atually stronger than coffee. And you should know that coffee is no good for a person who suffers with anxiety. So you could just imagine what smoking would do since it is worse than drinking coffee.
I am in the process of trying to give up smokeing myself, because I notice it does make my anxiety worse epsecially when I've had to many.
Ruby... :p
