Smoking
by Sheryl Feagan, Health
Education Consultant
Huron County Health Unit
Do you smoke besause__.you
dila it makes you relax? You
may think that smoking calms you
down, but, in fact, the opposite is
really happening. When you inhale
cigarette smoke, the nicotine enters
your bloodstream and, like any
other chemical, stimulates your
nervous system. The body re-
sponds to nicotine the same way it
prepares to repond to any stressor.
Your heart rate increases, your
blood pressure rises, your pupils
dilate, your mouth may feel dry,
and your stomach may cramp. All
of these changes occur because
your system is adjusting to a
"stressor". So in contrast to what
most smokers think, smoking
doesn't relax you. It puts your
body into a stress reaction. If you
think about it, it's probably the
"time-outs' you take from whatever
you're doing while you smoke, and
not the cigarette, that makes you
feel relaxed and ready to get back to
work.
If you really want to relax, there
are a number of things you can do
instead of smoking a cigarette. The
next time you start to feel
"uptight", try some of these sug-
gestions.
1. Exercise regularly - swim,
walk, bicycle, ski - any of your fa-
vourite activities will help you let
off steam and work out stress. You
can have fun, get fit, and enjoy
good health.
2. Talk it over - when tensions
build-up, discuss the problem with
a close friend or with the people
involved. Sometimes just talking
about your problem makes it easier
to find a solution.
3. Be realistic - people who ex-
pect too much of themselves get
tense if things don't work out. Set
practical goals and expect to be
successful.
,4. Take a break - but not a cigar-
ette break! A change of pace no
matter how short, gives you a new
outlook on old problems. Go for a
"walk" break instead of a coffee
break.
5. Plan your work - tension and
anxiety really build-up when work
seems endless. Plan your work to
use your time and energy more ef-
fectively. -
6. Practice Positive Health Hab-
its - you'll be healthier and feel
great if: you eat regular meals that
include a variety of nutritious
foods; get enough sleep each night
to keep you alert and ready to meet
stressful situations throughout the
day; exercise regularly; quit smok-
ing; and use alcohol in moderation.
7. Have an escape activity - par-
ticipate in a hobby or pastime

8. Avoid stress - whenever possi-
ble, plan to avoid too many big
changes at the same time. You can
control the stress you experience
each day.
9. Practice deep breathing, stretch-
ing and other relaxation techniques
throughout the day - deep breathing
can help relieve the tension that you
may feel when trying to quit smok-
ing. It mimics the action of inhal-
ing smoke without the ill effects
and is an excellent way to relax... at
any time.
Try to practice these stress man-
agement tips regularly. During peri-
ods of extreme stress or depression
use these tips to cope more effec-
tively rather than reaching for a cig-
arette. You CAN get through any
situation without a cigarette - peo-
ple do it every day, just for the
health of it.
If you smoke and would like help
to quit, call the Huron County
Health Unit at 524-8301.
