Smokers often tend to claim that "cigarettes have a relaxing effect" "to settle down smoking", but even if you are watching from the side that you are quietly quieting it, it really is to cigarette It is currently difficult to judge whether there is a relaxing effect or just being irritated by nicotine outright.

But nicotine proved to have a neurologic effect to calm down anger etc, demonstrated in experiments for non-smokers. Does this research result will cast a stone on the recent awkward mood?

Behavioral and Brain FunctionsAccording to the results of this research published in Nicotine, it is suggested that nicotine affects activities in the brain that are responsible for negative emotions such as anger.

Dr. Jean Gehricke et al.University of CaliforniaResearchers investigated the impact of nicotine patches on the tendency of subjects to retaliate when provoked.

Subjects will play computer games (in reality, by themselves) while watching the opponent (who is supposed to be an opponent) on the video screen, and losers will be heard annoying noises every round. The winner decides the volume of this unpleasant sound and the length of the flowing time. In other words, when you lose, subjects who are "provoked" for a long time with a loud sound at a loud volume for a long time will want to "retaliate" loud and long time when they win. In the experiments, it was related to the tendency of some subjects to ingest nicotine and not to "retaliate" even if "provoked".

According to Dr. Gehricke, subjects who were induced by nicotine and had a change in response to anger seem to have seen a change in brain metabolism. Decrease in nicotine-induced retaliation is accompanied by changes in brain metabolism by nicotine in the part responsible for the treatment of direction, planning, emotional stimulation in the brain.

According to the authors of the thesis, the result of this research is to support the theory that "people with angerish temperament are more susceptible to nicotine and therefore more likely to depend on tobacco", " In the circumstances that induce withdrawal symptoms and craving for tobacco, the latest behavioral therapy such as Anger management that acts on the cortex and limbic system will be helpful, "he concludes.

Because it seems that there is a calming effect to quell the anger in cigarettes, so let's tolerate even if there are those who are irritated and angry while stopping smoking. Also, it may be better not to encourage smoking cessation forced by angry and violent smokers.
