Myth or Fact

Smoking reduces stress

MYTH — it works the other way.

The relief a cigarette gives is the temporary silencing of the withdrawal tension it created itself. The smoker is solving, with a cigarette, the tension the cigarette caused. Measurements confirm it: once the first weeks pass, anxiety symptoms in people who quit go DOWN.

Term of the day

Kotinin

Der Fußabdruck des Nikotins im Körper.

Die Substanz, in die Nikotin im Körper abgebaut wird. Sie bleibt viel länger nachweisbar als Nikotin selbst (Halbwertszeit etwa 16 Stunden), deshalb messen Labore zur Beurteilung der Tabakbelastung meist Kotinin, nicht Nikotin. Wird auch genutzt, um Passivrauch-Belastung nachzuweisen.
