It makes sense to me trippinmickey. I've been smoking since I was 12 years old. It's an addiction that is hard to break. To me it is a crutch when I'm stressed out. I've been wanting to quit for years, but just not been able to do it. As far as feeling better is because your body craves the nicotine and you are giving it what it wants. Sorry your venture to quit smoking was a bust.
