Smokers believe that a cigarette may relieve the stress, at the same time, scholars claim the opposite. They came to such an opinion after a research having studied 500 smokers, The Daily Mail informs.

As a result of the research, 68 people fully stopped smoking, and these people combat stress condition significantly better, MedVesti informs.

Those people who did not manage to stop smoking, continued to experience the stress and be in even worse condition. Hence, the scholars concluded that smoking does not relieve stress.
