Why does smoking calm me down?!

Smoking gives you a stimulus and when you take it away (not smoking) your body wants that stimulus back and gets you aggravated until you smoke again....So yes you are addicted.

btw, just so you know pranayama is a way to say "breathing exercise", which the article talks about smoking being a dirty pranayama, or a dirty breathing exercise. the article basically says people enjoy smoking and get relaxation from it, because they are actually practicing breathing exercise, as the act of smoking focuses you on your breathing at that moment, and that is precisely what breathing exercise is, and breathing exercises by themselves are proven to be relaxing, calming, and good for you. unfortunately the smoking part of it is what makes it dirty and unhealthy, even though you still get the calming effects.

it calms everyone down thats why most people do it. your way to young to be smoking i dont even know how you get them.

Smoke cigars now.
